Tom,

Any feedback on the new rules for 2008 such as start anywhere, etc?

Yes, new start cylinder works great. Keeps the hugh gaggle, as from
the past, spread out. Some choose side exits, etc, as your time and
distance now starts where you exit the cylinder.
NO more rolling finishes. The folks at the seniors are now managing
their final glides to cross the finish cylinder at or above 500 agl.
Seems everybody is ok with it. No more high speed passes here, well,
they really weren't done in the past anyway. But no body is missing
them anyway. You just manage your final glide better and really now
don't waste energy as folks did in the past.
