I heard that they ran a race like this at the Soaring Club of Houston a couple weeks ago.

They cleverly adjusted for differing gliders by adjsuting the turn radii so each flew a distance appropriate for the handicap of his glider.

Interesting concept for a fun weekend race.

Steve Koerner used to have a document describing how to handicap a grand prix race with turn radii on his wingrigger.com website, but I can't find it now.
