Silver Badge Fun (?)

I believe the rules for regional sports class do not require more
than the Silver badge.
I beg to disagree. In regionals, you can fly w/a $100 Garmin 12 and just
hand it in after you fly. You certainly can't just send in the trace from a
handheld GPS for a Silver badge.
BTW, did you just happen to notice who won the sports class
at Hobbs? 6 days. Finished first on 4 of the 6 days. The last
day he didn't have to worry much, just needed to not land out
because he was so far ahead in points.
So much for your handicapping argument.

Good pilot. Good plane. Hard to beat. Ask me how I know.

mail address somewhat spoofed. Dennis

There are some other motivations for me than own satisfaction.

I'd like to fly in competitions and Silver plus gold distance is
required (For me this also means Diamond goal. I've
thought about this so much I almost think they're the same.)
Is there a way to fly in a regional without this?
