The cross-country crowd this year just won't quit: five more pilots flew on Sunday in what turned out to be a nice, if not chilly, post-frontal soaring day. The max altitude of 6800 ft was reached by Terry Wools and nobody ever got low enough on course to be too cause any gnashing of teeth. Ron flew the longest distance, 146 miles, at a winning handicapped speed of 48 mph. Terry was second, converting his height into 100 miles at a very respectable 41 mph. Simpson, Rutledge and Lazaga all flew well enough to replace some earlier low scores with better ones that helped improved their standings. I'll wait to summarize the writeup for the year, because the wx looks good through Halloween. Witch means there is still a ghost of a chance the scores could still change. Stick a fork in me for now.
