Here are the numbers

After 5 days of flying here are the results. Yesterday was a little stronger as you can see, it was a 380 point day as compared to 118 the day before. We also had a new day winner yesterd, Jeff "the Jet" Remple. Jeff went 4 kilometers further then  Tyler "Mr. T " Borradaile. Most pilots were having trouble getting above 8000 feet, but Doug "King Pin " keller got to 10200. Today looks similar to the last couple days, hot sunny, light winds, strong thermals with small cores that do not go too high.,
K, gotta go get ready.

Day 5, Task 4

First back to task 3, I am sorry I do not have results yet. I'm waiting too. But on Task 3, It was Tyler beating Jeff by 1 second. Now thats tight.
Task 4 was looking like it would be just as good, and perhaps more fun, but the day never realy materalized. Jeff Launched first and struggled on his own for 30 min. before anyone went out to help. In the end, Tyler won again, making it 40 km. in very tricky conditions, Erick Boisvert. My self and Serge also got away for a few kilometers. Several fought hard on Mount 7, then ended up in Nicholson.
Today looks like it could be similar to yesterday, but if its a bit better we all will do well. Yesterday there was some strong lift, in the 800 fpm bracket, but it only went to 7000'.
OK, thats it for now,

Awsome Day4, Task 3

Task 3 was similar to task 1, 100km out and return. I was first off, followed by Jeff. We climbed out and got the last start, 3:30. We raced pretty hard and I was keeping up with Jeff "the Jet" Rempel, until about 1/2 way to the turn pt. Then he decided he did not need my help anymore and left me behind. Wasn't long untill Doug Keller and Tyler Borradaile had cought me. They flashed by me at the trun pt. and took the bullet train back to goal. Doug Keller was on the same train, but got off at one of the stops for a climb and arrived 20 minuts after Jeff and Tyler. I was about 40 minutes after Doug. It would have been faster to stay low, but that does have a risk involved. Several Tagged the turn pt. and made it a long ways back, before the day shut down. Rob Clarkson and Garry Braun were two of them.
I'll get the results up for my five followers as soon as possible.
Today looks real good as well.
Wish you were here.

2012 National Championship, Day one report

Well we had a good day to start the meet, and some good flights.
We have 16 pilots registerd, 10 open Class and 6 king post Class. However after Tylers outstanding flight yesterday, there is talk about making a seperate class for "Carbon Keel" as Tyler out flew the field yesterday for the Big win. Tops in the King post Class was Serge Lamarche, finishing 4th for the day.

The task yesterday was kind of overcalled, I'll take credit for that, it was in the 100km bracket, and by the time everyone was up the hill and ready to go, task set, gps's loaded we had our first start at 4:00, no one made it, but the next and last start was 4:15 and a few of us nailed that one. Pilots were skattered on the course line, but the goal field was empty, .....except for a few that had bad luck combined with know lift.

We had a Bbq in the evening, Thank you Vincene and Muller Wind Sports! Several pilots helped with the cooking and cleaning, and thankyou. Also thanks to Lani and Jennell for doing the shopping. Eveyone got to relive their flights several times, until adventually even the pilots were tired about talking about flying.

Today was cloudy at the 11 am pilots meeting, so we decided to remeet at 2pm. The sky started to open at 11: 21 and so its looking like we will be going up the hill.

Hope to have the scores and some phots up soon, stay posted.
