I have been posting daily updates onwww.soaringcafe.comfor the 18
Meter Nationals.

The results are posted herehttp://ssa.org/members/contestreports/contestresultsdetail.asp?id=216...

Most pilots, only 15 here, flew 7 days straight, practice and 6
contest days, so today was a rest day. *Record heat in Hobbs, 106-18
on the ground, has produced some fantastic soaring conditions. *While
all pilots are doing a great staying hydrated it was obvious that
fatigue was settting.

Each day the weather improved and by Friday we saw many pilots flying
over 90 MPH, Saturday so a number of 100 MPH flights and on Sunday
there were 8 out of 15 pilots that flew over 100MPH for the task.

More racing on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. *There are five folks
here that have a chance of making the 2012 world team.
