Drag Racing Moths By:Walt Collins to Greg Allen
Greg,
We almost had one like that in 1991 at Elizabeth City, 1991. The wind was straight across
up the river so the weather leg was real short, and the race committee had us reach all the way
upriver toward downtown, and then jibe over and reach back toward ERKY's, with another short
windward leg to finish. The total reaches were about 4 times as long as the weather work.
Lately, when conditions are like this, they set up a small triangle and have us go once around
followed by a windward, leeward, windward. So I guess the "moth drag" will have to be a special
event. Think we can get a "christmas tree" and burn out area, with Don Garlits as judge?
Maybe we could allow the big rigs to be used for this instead of having them rot.
