FES in Contests

Sorry Kirk, I usually agree with you, but a poker run is no fun at all. Too
many "motorcycle enthusiasts" wearing the proper costumes and spending all
their time polishing their bikes. cheezy grin And, at the end, they
usually limit you to two beers.

I'm just saying that some risks like circling at low AGL and being low

scoring. I don't expect sailplane competition to do much if any of that
in a general way ever.

It is. Low is slow. If you land out you lose the day. If you break your
glider you are out of the contest. If you die your wife gets rich and
somebody else gets your stereo!

Maybe the idea would get traction on something (like OLC) that
incorporated safety margins in scoring. GPS logs make that possible.

What problem are you trying to solve? Or, setup a contest the way you like
it and see if others agree and come and play.

As far as road rallying - you ever watch rallying on TV? No risk taking?
YGBSM!
What you are talking about is a poker run. Which is fun too...
