Bumped from 11-7-04 and again from 11-21-04:
So far this year, three people have claimed a total of ten Indiana state soaring records:
Cheryl Beckage, 9-11-2004 (four records)
Absolute Altitude, feminine 15 meter class and feminine World Class : 5640 feet msl
Altitude Gain, feminine 15 meter class and feminine World Class : 3480 feet gained
Darren Bedwell (yes, me), 9-11-2004 (four records)
Open class, 15 meter class, standard class & sports class free triangle distance: 85.64 statute miles (note that the ASW-15 has a handicap of 1.00)
Ron Clarke, 9-22-2004 (two records)
Open class free triangle distance: 134.15 statute miles
Sports class free triangle distance: 116.04 statute miles
As state record keeper, I approved Ron's record claims from 9-22 (which broke two of mine from 9-11) and sent them on to the SSA. Dave Newill, Region 6 governor, approved my four records on 11-18.
Cheryl's record claims went to the badge lady at the SSA because she also made silver altitude from the same flight. The approval letter for her silver altitude claim arrived on 12-6-04 and I approved the state record claims the same day.
The SSA has stopped accepting state and national altitude records in any class but open. Cheryl's state record claims were not affected, because the rule change took effect after her flight for state records. For national records, it took effect before her flight. Does this make sense to anyone?
