The Day 1 data has been revised substantially after a few scoring problems were worked out. (Thanks go to Frank LaValley, Dan Shallbetter & John Hodgeson for their tireless efforts!)

Day 2 was was another good soaring day. I wish I could tell you more about how the weather was, but I am helping with the scoring from Minneapolis and I have heard very little.

JA (Rudy Kunda) had a stroke of bad luck on days 1 & 2. His camera was not functioning and he therefore received 0 points for both days.

Tom Gilbert from Australia is still in the lead on day two in his Libelle.

I wish I had more fun tidbits for you, but I don't at this time. I will be at the airport this weekend doing the scoring so I will have more to tell next week. I don't thinks I will have time to post data until the end of next week however. The contest will go on through Thursday, June 22.
