That was noisy fun!
I was on pad 17. Stock Cesaroni K2045 igniter and about 8 lbs lift off
weight. My ARTS2 read 6108 ft, ~50 g's peak.  I had 2 minutes of tracking
smoke lighted by ARTS2 under a 48" chute with Beeline tracker.  Attached are
photos which appear to show 4 very close groupings of Nike Smokes off the
pad ---

Group 1: Pad #19, #12 (Ryan Reynolds), #18,
Group 2: Pad #16, #20, #11 (Ron Swenson),
Group 3: Pad #13, #17 (Steve Sawyer),
Group 4: Pad #15 (Matt Powell), #14a (Robert Zylstra)

Sam Fineberg and Laurel - which pads were you?
Aidan Sojourner - I thought that you were on #18 next to me?

hey folks, everyone enjoyed the Nike drag race.  here it is again in slow
motion!  This is 210 frames per second.

please identify yourselves.  What I can figure out is:  first off the pad on
#12 was Ryan Reynolds with his awesome 4 ounce carbon machine.  
igniting at the same time but off the rails at second and third were Laurel
and Aidan on pads 11 & 12.

and the Nikes kept coming!!!

awesome spectacle.  thanks everyone, enjoy!

Cliff
