Today is a stronger West wind then the day before. Nothing like beating your head against the wall for over 4 hours just to score 200 points more then the folks that spent just 5 minutes in the air. That comes out to about 50 points per hour on course, or 5 points a mile. What a rip. Fortunately all of the pilots are quickly learning how important setting good nominal values are for fairly scoring a meet. Quest has a legacy of flying out and returns or triangles on any day it can be pulled off. That means longer times in the air, but shorter distances flown. That is why this meet scores better with a shorter nominal distance, but an average nominal time. Enough tech talk!
The weather man said today would suck, and it does. So we fly tomorrow instead.
