Race # 4          Date:  October 21st, 2007         Location:  Elko, NV (305 Miles)

Release Time:  07:30 AM                 Birds Entered:  37

Weather:  Mostly Sunny & Cold @ Release with Calm Winds. 

Light Headwinds/Cross Winds for the first 200 Miles. 

Light to Moderate Tailwinds Last 100 Miles.

What a great day for a race with beautiful weather here at the house and nice conditions on most of the race course.  The birds were a little faster than I thought they would be with the first birds arriving in just over 6 hours on the wing.  3 Birds came on a drop very high to Win the race, with a single bird coming just two minutes later.  For then on every couple of minutes for the next 10 Minutes a small drop of 2 or 3 birds would arrive capped off with a bigger drop of 7 birds just 12 minutes after the winners.  30 Minutes after the winners arrived a large drop of 12 birds arrived.  This gave us 32 of 37 Birds home in 30 Minutes! 

In total all of the 37 entries arrived before 5 PM.  (100% Returns on the Final Race!)

The birds definitely saved their best for last and performed great on this Final Race.

Congratulations to the Winners of Race #4 - Scott Wilcox, Jeff Cantiller, and Paul Watson

(Please See the Overall Ace Pigeon Section for Final Ace Pigeon Standings)

Thank You to all of those who participated in the 2007 Gold Country Challenge and we hope that you join us again for the 2008 Event.
