Hello Race Fans -
 
Despite some very bad weather - the Eagleville gang was determined to have
a valid GTA contest this past weekend.
 
Saturday - lets just say that there was no contest after the sniffer and 
tow pilot were forced to land out due to a rapidly developing thunderstorm.  
MP landed out on a farm field 17 miles south.  Could bases were about 
1500 agl with some 1 - 2 knot lift.  Did manage to stay up longer than 
the tow plane who landed at Shelbyville airport.  The retrieve crew was 
on the spot 5 minutes after my landing and saved me from a large amorous
drunken farm woman who had started the Saturday partying kinda early - whew!  and got out of the field as the rain - hail - lightning were starting - this retrieve was NASCAR fast and would have made the Dale Earnhart pit crew jealous!  Like the farm lady said - we are professionals!  Thanks to Ron Murphy - John Murphy - and Werner Regger for the help!  Had a nice cookout with ribs and sausages Saturday night at MP's house with some great laughs about the adventure.
 
Sunday - by 2pm cloud bases had reached the minimum 3000 agl with 2-3 knot
lift.  We called a 116 mile nominal distance TAT with a 50 mile minimum.  
Werner Regger showed us how its done and completed the task winning the day.  He had no close seconds - MP landed out at Shelbyville airport inside the first turn.  Z2 and SRK never got a start.
 
The lift was weak, choppy, and difficult to center - the ground in the 
entire area was soaked and the day muggy.  Really proud of EL (Werner) 
for validating my ambitious task call.  Way to go!
 
See Ya'll soon.
