Default A thought about handicapping.......

You obviously missed a similar suggestion I made last year. In
English handicapped horse racing, horses carry extra weight based on
their previous performance. It's presumed to make more exciting
racing.

My suggestion was to add drag strips to the gliders of the faster
pilots to slow them down. The better pilots always seem to fly about
10% faster than I do, which is clearly unfair!

As for KS, we should just make him fly a Twin Astir unhandicapped!
