On this, I take a clue from Jay Lamm: I want a racing class full of folks I'd like to hang out, fly with, retrieve for, and drink beer with around a bonfire.

The Homebuilt class.

Eligibility for anyone who owns and flies an amateur-built glider. Bonus points to anyone who also holds the repairbeing certificate for their glider, or otherwise demonstrates a substantial role in construction, repair, or modification. Open also to anyone who flies a 1-26 built from a kit.

Awards in order of exaltedness:

* Best retrieve
* Best improvisation (mechanical or theatrical)
* Best (not lowest!) save
* Overall speed points
* Daily speed points
