Default Dust Devil Dash - September 10

The last pre-DDD update of TFR files for a 450SM radius of Tonopah, Nevada in TXT and CUB formats is available.
Find them in Dropbox (link below) and the Tehachapisoaring Yahoo newsgroup.

The waypoint database 2016 v1.5 is available on Soaring Turnpoint Exchange, thanks to John Leibacher. I only ask John for one update per year. He may or may not have updated airspace files, depending on his work load.
The Tehachapisoaring group has access to 2016 v1.6. Dropbox has CUPX file v1.6. The changes are minor, and documented in the SW Aviation Database Information.pdf file, in Dropbox.

Jim,

How exactly are those distances measured?


Launch to Landing?

Start gate to fixed point?

Release point to fixed point?

Release point to landing?

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.

Way to go Kevin!

He and I left the start thermal at the same time and flew together for the first 20-30 miles then split up to go up opposite sides of the Sierras. Rejoined at Mammoth and added Terry/Thorsten to the group. The three ships then flew loose formation to Susanville before splitting up.

I saw a few wisps forming ahead on a path to Mt Shasta, so decided to try reaching it. Unfortunately, I didn't realize that apparently marine air infiltrated the high ground east of Redding and couldn't find any more thermal lift. Worked some ridge lift on a couple hills before throwing in the towel and landing at Fall River Mills.

Kevin, as is often the case, managed to time his final glide to arrive just a couple minutes before sunset!
