call me a sellout, but i'd sign up to get paid to be a professional glider sled-racer. in a heartbeat. i'd still do some REAL soaring in my spare time, make no mistake. why not? i bet it would be fun.

I have conceptualized (like others i bet) a version of glider racing similar to formula 1 or nascar, where they do a grandprix style race with 20 pilots or so each weekend at a different site and televise it with chase helicopters and stuff. having the points add up each season to make an overall points winner for some cup or whatever you want to call it at the end of the season. call me crazy but i would definitely fly in some goofy unnecessary uniform and live out of a motorhome racing gliders on TV each sunday, with sponsorship decals all over my glider. I really would.
