Default Dust Devil Dash results

Excellent results.
I was envious as I worked on some TV show in Toronto, knowing the
weather was good at home. Take it the Frankes got first place on the
Duo's handicap versus the AS-W27?
For those unfamiliar with the terrain, Tehachapi to Alturas is 733.5
kilometers in a straight line. Luning is 379.5 and Bridgeport 358.7.
Garry and "Hang Man" were flying Schweizer 1-26s, hence the "close"
third with such a difference in the distances. If the weather system
doesn't allow long tasks, this race can be won on handicap (and with
an eager pilot).
When the weather does allow for long flights, having enough charts
on board has been a problem.

Here are the results of the 2008 Dust Devil Dash. It was close. Marty
Eiler and Sean Franke both made it to Alturas, CA for the longest straight

distances and the best handicapped distances.
