Dust Devil Dash results

Here are the results of the 2008 Dust Devil Dash. It was close. Marty
Eiler and Sean Franke both made it to Alturas, CA for the longest straight

distances and the best handicapped distances. Garry Dickson landed at
Luning, NV and with handicap came in a close third, with Doug Levy at
Bridgeport coming in fourth.

Philippe Athuil receives the special award of Grand Prix de Sang Froid.
Off
tow he had jammed aileron control and was unable to turn to the right. He

thermalled to the left to 15000 ft then glided back to his base at
Crystal.
But then, after retrieving his laptop from the control system, he relit
and
finally landed at Minden.

Sean Franke and Cindy Brickner are both looking at possible US record
claims, and I believe some badge legs were also recorded.

22 competitors flew this year.

Congratulations to all, and hoping to see you all again next year,

Cindy, please post to ssa.org.
