The pilots suspected of logging a little unauthorized IFR were all commercial pilots with current instrument ratings.
I believe this can be controlled with a stern warning given at all mandatory pilot meetings and a 2 year suspension of racing privileges for anyone found guilty.
The RC is checking with the NWS to see if archived data can be used to prove flights into known cloud areas.
We need to put a stop to this right now,

The SSA Sailplane Tracker archives weather data every thirty minutes. Visible satellite is one of the data streams depicted. Play back the Tracking data from that date. Make sure you have the WX tab checked and the image of choice selected. Watch the track move and the weather sequence. You can upload the particular IGC as a private file for better track resolution within the SSA Sailplane Tracker. Granted this does not show cloud bases but it will give you an idea if it is even worth pursuing better data.
