LRPC Futurity 200-mile Chattanooga 10/2/11

The 28 futurity birds were released under clear skies at 7:40 a.m. from Chattanooga, Tn. There were clear, sunny skies along the whole route, but 5-10 mph NNW headwinds (with 15 mph gusts) slowed the birds down and spread them out.

Ten birds clocked on the day Sunday, but five more returned on Monday. Check the leaderboard to see if your bird has arrived. I will update the leaderboard as I get reports from Bob or John about late returning birds.

Joel Sampang’s winning bird, ARPU 6081, came to John’s loft by itself and far ahead of any other bird. Congratulations to him and his tough bird. Congratulations to Ron Pairan as well, whose LFO 540 bird has been consistently at the top all three races. It appears he is the bird to beat going into the last race!

The top three finishers in this 200-mile race will be receiving a cash prize of $100, $50, and $25.
