Following the success of Tasmania's recent Skyrace event, T -6 class winner Mike Falls has moved quickly to form a four unit pylon racing team comprising the aircraft of Bill Waterton, Doug Hamilton and Hugh Waltho. The four launched their new team at the Easter Mangalore SAM fly-in and followed this up with the Lexus Cup at Leongatha on April 17. The concept revolves around a tight race through a 6km pylon course that should see 60 second laps being recorded. This will keep the field visual to the spectators at all times and maintain a level of excitement aided somewhat by informed commentary. Local companies are already climbing aboard to sponsor pylons and claim race naming rights and the presence of the team should prove a major boost for any future airshow, rural or major. A novel concept is the suggested inclusion of a one dollar surcharge per adult spectator which then goes towards funding the team's presence via a lottery that has as it's prize rides in the Harvards. Everyone's a winner so if you want more information contact Mike Falls on (03) 379 9299, tell him you saw it in AA. (Bill Lines)
