I'd like to see that poll. I write the poll and read the results annually. We haven't had 98% on the proposition "should the sky remain blue?" I believe it was 2006 racing pilots pool ! After majority of pilots(is this better for you John,or maybe 97%,why exact number is soo important ?)voted for "only club class glider pilots" to be considered for US Team. John, you are just angry. RC asked this question and in following years deviated from it quietly, against majority of racing pilots wish. If this was your decision, I would like you to step down. I'm sick of your reinventing wheel and continuous changing rules, also treading experience racing pilots as kids. RW

The question in 2006 Poll was "Should the Club class team be selected only from pilots flying Club class gliders?" The response was 65% yes and 35% no.. The USTC used this guidance to put that requirement in place.
Before quoting statistics RW, maybe you should look them up.
I would note that you seem to be the angry guy, not John.
