In regard to rule 4i(c),

A normal aircraft type may be used by a Team no more than five (5) times. For these normal aircraft, a 10-minute "maintenance" penalty applies to each excessive use. That said, the race eligible P-38(F-J,L) and P-51(B/C/D) may be flown as many times as desired.

Does that mean the race eligible P-38(F-J,L) and P-51(B/C/D) may be flown as many times as desired without maintenance penalties since there's no usage restriction ?

Dunno if I got something going with my browser or not- but the 'follow the race' link on the site ( https://www.fsrtwrace.com/followrace.php ) isn't updating. I can only see the live progress if I use the Duenna link. ( http://live.fs-duenna.com/track/WhoWhere.php )
