The southeast U.S. is in the midst of an historic drought. How dry is
it? Well, we had two weeks of continuous glider flying at Cordele, GA,
including a Regional contest and a Nationals, AND Frank Paynter was
there, and it DID NOT RAIN!

Well I think Frank left all the rain up here in north :-(

Another solid week of rain forecast here in WI.

The historic drought produced some historic speeds as well.
In eight days of racing at the Standard Class Nationals the slowest
winning speed was 71.5 mph. This fastest was 81.5.
For Cordele, for any contest east of the Mississippi, that's one for
the record books.
