Region 8 USA Soaring Contest

Yesterday was cancelled after 2 grid reschedules, hoping the heavy
cirrus would pass or break-up. Neither happened. It looked so bad
our sniffer, would not even waste his time with a free tow.

Today looks much better.
Grid at noon.
Sports Class 3.5 hr. MAT with # 29 Niles Corner, then #45 Wilbur, then
your pick(s).
15M 3.5 hr. TAT with #4 Anderson (20 mi. radius), #14 Davenport (20
mi.) and #10 Chelan (30 mi.)

Last night, Becky, Mike and the Newguard kids hosted a Seattle Glider
Council Foundation BBQ. Good food, great friends, cold keg.

Nelson Funston is up and walking and is our Contest Scorer. 2F (E.C.
Welch) is here for a few days and Klaus Auerbach was here yesterday;
he got to see 5K and meet the current owner.
