The first ship crossing the finish line after completing the required number of laps and without violation of the rules shall be declared the winner. When individual standing stats are used, starting time will be taken from the starter's flag and finish time at the finish line, the ship making the lowest elapsed time without violation of the rules to be declared the winner.

(d) In taking off in the "Race Horse Start" no plane shall cut in front of another until a safe distance has been gained. Any plane passing another plane must keep at least 150 feet to the right, or 50 feet above the plane being overtaken.
