By the looks of the recent flights, the dog days of August soaring have replaced the condor days of July. Gone are the 100+ mile flights and 8000 ft thermal tops. The latest race day was last Saturday and, depending on where you went and which cloud you used, the results could be vastly different. How about 53 mph or 18 mph for a spread. And that doesn't include a wannabe contest flight that ended in a landout at Converse. But another day was notched, and people are still moving up the scoresheet, like Dr. Simpson and our amigo, Mario. Not to mention the new leader, ZA. Keep the faith, September and the promise of better condx are not far off. DT
