I've often felt that the Discus B/CS should be made into a one class
group with Grand Prix style "sprint" races. That could possibly make
for some good TV viewing.

I agree completely with this thought as regards to both the Discus and
the GP concept. NASCAR for gliding? Maybe S-H would sponsor the class
in some way for being made the exclusive manufacturer of the class.

- There already are GP for gliders, so what is the point of making
another one?
Get your Discus 2B out and go compete.
SH cant produce a glider under a $100K, even if they if they outsource
the production elsewhere...
Used Discus'es go for about $50K, with used CS's edging even higher.
The key to World Class was supposed to be
AFFORDABILITY for the same class of glider and indeed, apart from Club
class which lives up to its renaissance, this is the only class that
offers this. Soaring as of today is being killed by high costs
associated with it, at least here in US and no Pw or SH will change
that.
