MATs
I flew my first multiple-turnpoint MAT at Region 9 a couple of years ago and there were enough turnpoints that the fastest guys had essentially an AST.. The slower guys (including me) skipped the last one or two turnpoints and headed home. It was a blast and felt like a real race even for us slower guys.
On your flight computer, you set it up as an AST and just head for home when time is up! In this task, you concentrate on racing in the same sky as everyone else. Sean and I agree on at least one thing - single turnpoint MATs suck! Mike
