I have a great idea for next year. Special contest for Sean and his buddies. IGC club class only. Grand Prix rules, with no finish minimum, with full IGC protocols -- jury, stewards and all. Full panel IFR (artificial horizon) required. Flarm units with leech mode enabled required. The new DeLorme every minute tracker required, and each pilot's "team captain" will radio up other pilot's positions and weather from ground control. Units: Metric. Language: Only Norwegian and Polish allowed -- need to practice up for the WGC, guys!



(Sorry, can't seem to wait for April 1!)

Wow, that's a sensational picture you paint. You might like this idea better? How about eliminating the risky cross country aspect of sailplane racing? Instead have a national spot landing contest? No need for jury, stewards and all. We can use the English language.

(Can't wait for April 1st too)
