Contest Class Development for Future Success - The Case fordeveloping the Handicapped Classes
I was looking and the handicaps by glider model and have started looking at the FAA registration database to see where the fleet size is. Numbers on gliders here http://faculty.chicagobooth.edu/john...ticipation.pdf It's amazing how many raceable gliders there are, that don't race. Our problem is not lack of gliders, it's lack of pilots who want to race them John Cochrane

Many of these(most?), likely won't come play in contests, or maybe an occasional convenient regional. My observation supports John's in this respect. UH
