VERY enjoyable watching the race live, while sitting at home in
Colorado in the rain. *Grand Prix racing is great!


I was late for work as I couldn't leave until someone finished!
Excellent presentation and very watchable even with a relatively slow
DSL link.

Good fun watching Chip rethink his decision on the ridge and later dig
himself out of the hole. *Looks like he may be second for the day.

The two German pilots' trackers were not working. *Apparently they
came in 1 & 2. *Chip may be 5th for the day. *He finished under the
1,100m minimum altitude, then found some lift and went around and
finished again. *Looks like it was a very tough day.


Yeah, the missing trackers.....

Big penalties handed out and the day devalued also.
