I know most pilots are on track, but the TC’s play the game tough as well.The sniffer just comes back here and called the conditions “sniftastic “good.

For the last time I advise you to go to the soaringspot site to see the results and final results!!! All trailers are open to “pack “the gliders.Nice view here from the tent.
Preparations for the closing ceremony tomorrow are in full swing. That will be in front of the office from Mark Hufstuttler, where the flags are .

So masny people looking at the scores that we can’t get a connection anymore. Enjoy the preliminary scores when you see them.

Off to the final dinner and party soon.

CU tomorrow after the prize giving, I hope, as I leave as well in the afternoon and the power in the tent will be gone .They are working hard to clean/clear  the tent, but for sure I will be back to “wrap up “the comps even if necesary from my hotel in San Antonio.cheers Ritz
