As for the motor allowing me to get home every day and be rested, a
good crew whith a motorhome will also provide that. Should we force
all retrieves to be by car to prevent this advantage...?

It's not a motor home competition, it's a _glider_ competition. So glide
already. What a bunch of whiners you MG people seem to be.

Uh, isn't those other guys that are using the motorhome? You know, the
motorless guys? And I'm guessing you don't remember AJ Smith, who
thought a crew car that wasn't worn out at the end of a contest meant
the crew was a slacker. Ol' AJ, he knew what it took to win a contest...

Sure, having a motor is a great training tool. But once you've learned
enough that you think you are competitive as a _glider_, not a powered ship,
then enter competitions for _gliders_ and leave the training wheels at home.

And then there is Ron Tabery, who flew his ASW 22 BLE, with the engine,
in the Open Class nationals this year. Even though he is a five time
member of the US Team, including the 2003 team, we look forward to the
day he learns how to do it, and discards his "training wheels".
