Default A thought about handicapping.......

If we handicap the pilots we should have a "Special Olimpics" glider
contest.

That way the super pilots stay away and all us rookies can have a real
exciting contest where
even a Cherokee could take away the prize.

But we would need a lot of retrieve crews for such a contest.

Perhaps we can invite the super contest pilots to be retrieve crew and
judges.

You do realize that all those "super contest pilots" were once rookies
who actually went to a race, instead of whining about how unfair and
hard it is? ;^)

Cheers!
