Potential Club Class (US Sports Class) World Team SelectionPolicy Changes
We see a few pilots in this discussion who have admirably bought a
Club Class glider specifically to compete in Club Class. Some have no other glider. What an awful thing to scold them. Sean, great flight at the Dust Devil Dash in weak conditions, by the way. I had a great time working at the 2009 Club and Sports Class Nationals at Lake Keepit, NSW, Australia last November (final results link below). Out of 60 gliders total, it was an even split between Club Class and Sports Class. Perhaps this is due to the existence of a Club Class in Australia? Just like hosting Open Class Nationals with another class of Nationals in the USA, holding the two classes simultaneously allows event organizers to have good attendance. There were indeed AS-G29s (6) and Ventus 2Cxs (5, plus one without an x) at Keepit, but they flew in Sports Class. Discus A/B/CS flew in Club, Discus 2 in Sports. LS-7 in Club, LS-8 in Sports. AS-W20 in Club, LS-6 and all Ventus in Sports, and so on. We loved to see the Libelles, Ls-1s, Cirrii, Grobs, Hornets etc. finish. (Names withheld, to protect the guilty) one Libelle passed an AS-G29 on short final, causing vast quantities of grief to descend on the 29 pilot. For those thinking safety, you can easily land three wide at Keepit. A splendid time was had by all. And dare I say, "Kingaroy!" Jim http://www.keepitsoaring.com/LKSC/in...6&I temid=127 |
