Yee-Hawww. Excellent, and it my opinion the best use of animation yet. It even works well at the slowest (and closest to realistic speed.) 5  from me

Hmmm. This latest edition bogs down my fairly high-end new computer. each plane runs well by itself, but trying to get 2 or 3 at a time just bogs things down. I get one jerky plane and 1 or two other broad tracks in the sky.

Hello Hill,
yes the 3 racer model is too bulky, when i exported the points for track locations i did not take into account having to rescale the model for visual appearance. (thus the high density *grin*)
for a single racer the track point interval works well.
will re-export placemark points at 3 or 4x the current distance interval which is 10m, this should make the 3 racer model much more managable
Thanks for the input.

Wow Joey. That looks amazing!
You've taken GE timeline animation up a notch or two here.
Keep up the good work.
