May 1999 HLG Contest Results
Seattle Area Soaring Society's May HLG contest was a great success! We had
great weather which started out threatening and moved to broken clouds with
light thermals. Once again the floaters were par for the course.
In Sportsperson class, it was the Bryan's finishing first and second with
their side-arm arsenal. They're new Harold Locke Special did well and
showed its advantages even in light lift. Tim Johnson really flew well,
demonstrating the strengths of the Illusion and his increasing knowledge of
thermalling, and made 3rd.
In Expert Class it was pretty much Bruce spotting the thermals, and then
Phil and Adam would key on him and follow the thermals out. Phil and Adam
swapped rounds with Phil taking 2 rounds and Adam taking 4.
Once again, thanks go to Thermal-Gromit Works for donating a Red Herring kit
for the contestant raffle. (www.tgworks.com)
