Eastern Mass Championships
BRIAN STAS, CHRIS SARNOWSKI & NEIL SIMPSON
TAKE TOP THREE SPOTS
OCTOBER 11, 2020-SAUGUS, MA – The 107th RC Flyers Club Field in Saugus, Massachusetts was the location for the Eastern Mass Championships for Formula GX Combat. The weather was cool in the morning, warm towards midday followed by cool in the afternoon as a moderate to strong sea breeze rolled in. The contest attracted seven pilots.
Round one saw Brian Stas get off to the best start posting a 725 point win. Neil Simpson, Chris Sarnowski and Ara Dedekian also posted round one wins. In round two Brian maintained the contest lead getting past Neil two cuts to one in a clean match. Round two also saw Chris emerge as a contender when he got his second win this one a one cut win over Ara. In round three Brian and Chris were headed for a one cut apiece draw when an encounter with the ground cost Brian the win and served to tighten the field. Heading into round four Chris had taken a ten point contest lead over Brian with Neil within range a little over a hundred points behind their pace. In the first match of round four Rick Clark, who had been flying steady all day, posted a 725 point win over Ara putting pressure on the contest leaders. In the next match Brian got a three cut win over Cody Bishop to take the club house lead which held up when, in the final, Chris and Neil, flew to a low scoring draw.
Thank you to the entire 107th RC Flyers Model Airplane Club for the use of their fine facility and for the courtesies extended to us all season long.
