Analyzing US Competition Flights

Speaking of hijacking, you guys have hijacked this thread. Take it
outside.

For the record, though, while the OLC is a justifiably popular form of
competition, it's not racing in the classic head-to-head fashion.
Technically, sanctioned contests are not all head-to-head racing,
either, as whenever an area-type task is called. But at least we all
launch from the same location and mostly return there having flown in
the same geographical envelope and overall weather system. Such is not
the case with the OLC, as innovative and challenging as it is.
