Hobbs Day 5 7-08 # 711.

At the pilots meeting today, the CD pushed back grid time to 12:30 and the
pilots meeting in the front of the grid to 12:45. This is a big help to all as
we do not launch so early and grind around for several hours with 100 degree
cockpit heat before the start. Yesterday the high alitude was around 8500 msl,
only a few got to 9500 msl. And its not mich cooler up their. Nascar racers
have cool suits and they only go for several hours. We have been going with the
practice day now for 6 days and this heat and gridding early is wearing
everybody down. Regionals in my thought are not a Nationals. and a rest day
should be put in them rules somewhere, someday. Todays weather sounds like
this place could really boom this afternoon as we are sitting under a low
pressure. Again, this is a test for all the folks here as this is not normal
Hobbs weather. I guess as I sit here in the cool of my Land Yacht I might be
just needing to cool down and just understand some days are just like this.
Some folks have emailed me about all the penalties given out. I won't comment
on these as its best that I don;t. But that green alien could be coming up with
a big brick if it continues and what you don't want is " the Green Alien
against you." I will post more tonight. Thermal tight, Soar high, Fly safe. $

Maybe you are yearning for the conditions that we had at Parowan. And we
threw the green alien out of Parowan and Mifflin!!! The only alien we had at
either site was one named Heinz!!!!! And he was not actually green!!!!
