Hi Pilots,

The MSC just won the OLC US Gold League and the OLC World League speed competitions. The Soaring Society of Boulder started the season with substantial leads in both competitions only to watch those leads disappear as MSC pilots regularly posted handicapped speeds above 150 kph. The SSB had a chance to catch Minden this last weekend in the World League if the wild fires shut them down but their fast speeds again didn't allow it. We tried hard but the wildfire smoke and TFRs kept most pilots home.

Again, congratulations and here's to some miracle that allows the wild fires, especially prevalent in California and Colorado, to be brought under control and save the rest of the soaring season for the western US.

Fly safely, Bob
