Jim,

How exactly are those distances measured?


Launch to Landing?

Start gate to fixed point?

Release point to fixed point?

Tom actually landed at Fall River Mills, not Ravendale.

Well spotted, Ramy!
I needed to get on the road and quickly copied those things from the preliminary score sheet.
Just spoke with Rob Morgan, who will correct that from Grand Junction or Greeley.
Tom's extra ~30 points will look good but may not change the leader sheet.

To answer R5's question it's Carl Herold Handicap, launch to landing. Penalty for ballast. Everyone tows to the ridge just south of Mountain Valley.

Past scores are available on SoCalSoaring.com
Anything from LK-10 to Nimbus 4D has appeared at the top of the score sheet.
