Pilots meeting at 10:30 am went well and was short. Grid happened at 12 with
first launches shortly after. Everything went smoothly, lift was up to 180
again, with climbs on course of over 10 kts. The stantards and 15 meters had
the same course with polemtn and then Zion as turnpoints, Sports was shorter.
The leg to polemtn went fast for most as it was downwind, Then came the leg to
Zion, into the wind. Past Brainhead things got blue but lift was to be found.
This leg is over a high ground area, so final glide home put most high at the
finish, like several thousand feet. Its a full contest. Tonight is the pilots
manditory meeting followed by dinner. We meet in a hanger which has been given
tables and chairs. Very clean and nice. Even though we have 1 runway, today all
landings went well with no crowding. I would post some speeds, the task for 15
and standards was 156 miles, but nothing available yet. Fly safe, Thermal
tight, Soar high. # 711 reporting.
