Default Fastest Task Speed

Winning speed in the open class at Nephi today was over 113mph. Is this the fasted speed ever recorded in a contest?

Nope, we had 126 mph at the 15 meter Nationals in 2002 at Tonopah. Gary Ittner burned the gelcoat off on that task.

Tony - TS1
102 mph and 33rd place for the day.
