Morning Andy,
My remarks were aimed at the forthcoming sports nationals
at Parowan. I don't see any 'newbies' at or below the
cut-off entry point of 50. We need to force pilots
out of sight of home plate or some will just run their
close in triangle until there is a trough worn in the
ground. This is all up to the CD and I would expect
WUSS tasking in sports class regionals where newbies
may feel intimidated by getting out of sight of home.
Thirty years ago I drove my Duster around a selected
triangle in the early days of sports class. Think we
have lost something with our modern tasking. At Parowan
one only needs to drive say, north for an hour and
a half, then head home. If it is anything like last
year, that's a snap + a lot of fun also.
:) JJ

Gee JJ, you just took all the fun out of finishes in
the name of safety, now you want to increase landouts
with 2-turn MATs in the name of 'challenge'. Or are
you just yanking our chains?

I thought just the ASA pilots were 'AST-only' Neanderthals.
Forcing all the sports-class newbies in PW-5s to roam
far from home by limiting the turns seems like asking
for mayhem.
