The AM report for the day actually say's the words "LETS RACE!" ROTFL. --http://www.ssa.org/Contests?cid=2268... gion+9+North
Ready, set, go............fly anywhere you want like OLC and have fun! But it's no race folks. Not even remotely close to a race. That's for sure..
Weather considerations for the task selection you may ask? Read it for yourself...
"Just finished the pilot meeting, spirits are high and optimism is high for a great day of racing.
One task for all classes; 02 Start, 78 Wayne Wonder, 43 Milford and 22 Delta Muni all turnpoints have 30 mile radi.
Nominal 280, maximum 402.6 and minium 182.
Duration 3:30
Task B is same as A but 3:00 duration.
Weather is forecated to be 4-6F warmer, trigger temperature passed by launch, TOL 14-15K+, lift 5 knots average+, cumulus clouds should be present and winds at TOL 15-18 MPH.
Tasks on SSA tracker site, happy viewing
Let's race" (--- yes they really said that!)
I rest my case.

I do not have time to respond with the level of detail anyone here would require and I am trying not to respond emotionally with a '**** off you have no clue what you are talking about since you are not here understanding all the parameters we are dealing with'
I have one request for Sean; please take down the link you posted for the task sheet. It has peoples personal telephone numbers, including mine, on it that are volunteering so that 37-38 pilots and their crew can have fun, race gliders and experience central UT. Your disregard for privacy and complete lack of understanding on our situation is appalling and disgusting.
