A racing task today of 550km. Unfortunately with only two tow planes operating due to practice still being unofficial those on the back of the grid were launched way to late to complete the distance in the available time. Those on the front of the grid got nice fast times (just over 130kph) but those further back had to cut the task short or risk being a long way from home at the end of the day. Brett did really well getting around the full 550km and I managed 440km. The Kiwi's, Aussies and Mak from Japan have teamed up and are sharing a common frequency. Matt Scutter from Australia and Mak gave a virtual running commentary on their flight with Matt calling out the thermal strengths of every thermal he took! After flying we all went into town and had a nice meal in the square followed by whiskey ice-creams, delicious!
