The scores for the Tullahoma 4th of July weekend GTA are now posted. Several pilots flew on Friday the 2nd (practice flights) and were treated to dinner at the Beckwith's, an excellent airshow by the Aeroshell team, and a professional fireworks display that evening. GTA pilots competed on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. The weather was soft on Saturday with a modified assigned task to Winchester. Werner Ruegger won the day in A class with a raw speed of 34.40 mph and nobody completed the minimum distance in B class. Two pilots (Mike Mason from Chattanooga and Colin Mead visiting from Florida) landed at Winchester. Sunday brought good soaring weather (2.5 kts average lift to 6500 ft) for a nominal 102 mile turn area task. Leo Benetti-Longhini won the A class with a raw speed of 60.15mph and Chuck Patterson won the B class with a raw speed of 40.83 mph. Monday had exceptional weather (cloudbases up to 7000 feet with 4.3 knots average lift) with pilots flying long flights from both Tullahoma and Eagleville. The task was a 166.43 mile turn area that also qualified as a 300 km FAI triangle. Leo Benetti-Longhini won the day with a raw speed of 63.97 mph in the A class. There were no B class competitors on the third day. CAP cadets were involved with the ground operations and flight training all weekend. A total of 49 tows were given by Ralph Bard and John Humphries. Jennifer Benetti-Longhini gave numerous flights to visiting CAP cadets. The 3 contest days at Tullhahoma added 50% to the number of valid GTA contest days this season. Please join me in thanking Leo for pulling together a fantastic weekend, we will certainly plan go back to Tullahoma. -- Chris Tullahoma GTA 2010 Saturday, July 03, 2010 Unofficial A Class Day 1 Task: Modified Assigned ID Name Distance (Miles) Radius 1 TULLAHOMA 0.00 3.0 66 Winchester 14.31 1 TULLAHOMA 30.61 1.0 Minimum Time 01:00 Cumulative Day Speed Distance Remarks Rank Points ID Name Glider Rank Points Hndcp Actual Hndcp Actual Code Penalty Points ---- ----- -- ---- ------ ---- ------ ----- ------ ----- ------ ---- ------- ------ 1 1000 JS1/EL Ruegger, Werner JS1-A 1 1000 29.66 34.40 85.35 99.00 2 971 S4 Malosse, JJ LS-3A 2 971 28.81 30.65 58.40 62.13 3 883 PS Stevenson, Linwood ASW-20C-15 3 883 26.20 28.73 64.36 70.57 Codes: Unofficial B Class Day 1 Task: Modified Assigned ID Name Distance (Miles) Radius 1 TULLAHOMA 0.00 3.0 66 Winchester 14.31 1 TULLAHOMA 30.61 1.0 Minimum Time 01:00 Cumulative Day Speed Distance Remarks Rank Points ID Name Glider Rank Points Hndcp Actual Hndcp Actual Code Penalty Points ---- ----- -- ---- ------ ---- ------ ----- ------ ----- ------ ---- ------- ------ 1 0 ZF Patterson, Chuck ASW-20B-15 1 0 0.0 less than min distance.
