Hi All,

When Mark was going for record in F1D, as CD I questioned this at AMA
to get clarification. It's one timer in a sanctioned contest (with
lots of people usually standing around), but in a record trials it
takes three people plus the flyer. A C.D. who cannot time and two AMA
member timers. I got the impression that this helps to reduce
problems with favoritism or whatever you want to call it. This puts
at least four people in the place.
