Agree.

My takeaways/ideas from the above thus far:

1. Stay humble.

2. Get lots of dual time with someone who is demonstrably better at racing (or cross-country) than you, AND who has a reputation for putting safety first.

3. Try to get a ballistic parachute retro-fitted into your glider (Is this even possible?). Encourage manufacturers to install these in new gliders.

4. Encourage SSA to require a reasonable, safe hard deck for all races. (Sorry, hot dogs, it's for your own good. :-))
