Lots of happy pilots at goal in Hobbs. The press had been called out and the film makers were there.
Robert Reisinger won the day and was almost four minutes ahead of Attila in sixth. Attila is still in the lead by a few points. Check out the scores.Discuss Big Spring at the Oz Report forum

Looks like no one made goal. Many seemed to have landed at the second turnpoint before the 35 km leg east into goal against the forecasted east wind (although the winds seemed to be predominantly south). All three task members agreed on the task right away so that was a foreshadowing... mehr
