Spectacular coverage today! *Both video and chat worked well.

You must have been early to connect. I was never able to.

Let me say that the webcast today was outstanding with a very exciting
race. This contest is on the cutting edge of the sport. With the new
technology there is the potential to draw in spectators and future
sponsors. Finally the world can enjoy the excitement of our sport.

If you were not getting the audio try closing and reopening your
browser tomorrow. Race coverage started at 1:00 pm eastern with start
at 1:30 pm. The total coverage was about two hours.

Hi,

I enjoyed following the race too! Very cool!

I couldn't get the live tracking to work yesterday or the day before, so it
was nice to get it working today. They seem to be working hard to improve
it.

Indeed.

But if I compare the number of very bad and fatal accidents to the
very limited number of gliding Grand Prix competitions that have taken
place so far, I'm starting to feel sick.

In my humble opinion the Gliding Grand Prix kills way too many people.


Best wishes for 2010
