So, what do you call an outlanding?


Great discussion on this topic. Last year at Region 9 Parowan, the
attending ground crews (SCUM) spontaneously coined a new objective for
their racers on or about the third day of the contest. The goal was to
"land in". That says it all to me. Everything else is a landout.

How about this one: day 2 at Perry last year. 2 turnpoints in
opposite directions
from the home field. I never could find lift beyond Perry on the way
to turnpoint 2
and wound up landing in front of my trailer. Only distance points as
a result.
