Low pass
Final comment on low passes, then I'll shut up: *How many documented
accidents, in the US, can be directly blamed on low passes in recent years (say, since the end of their use in contest finishes)? *OTOH, Kirk 66 Kirt, I can remember 2 right off the top of my head, not counting the recent one in Idaho. Uvalde '86 and Cal City ? date. Type in "finish line accidents" or "low pass accidents" in "search this group" above and you'll get an afternoons worth of reading. BTW, the 50 foot line finish is still in the US Rules. Cheers, JJ
