It seems there are pilots who won't fly in contests whose rules they

I used to enjoy soaring contests, from the ground. Watching the gliders come
home, distant gray plumes of no longer needed water, then the whistling
sound as they'd come blazing through the gate to the cheers of those
gathered. All gone in the name of safety.

How do you promote something the public can't even see? Some have tried
making it a "video game" to watch on TV - - that's good too, but hollow
without the visceral experience of the old finish gate.
