Dalby Big Air, day 6. Groundhog Day, as our task committee called
it. Sport class had the same task as their previous one - 51 kilometer to
Brigalow, almost perfectly in line with the wind. Open class flew the same
direction as before but much further - 217 kilometers this time.

The weather was truly fantastic - just look at the photo of the clouds from my
retrieve drive. The cloudbase was around 2100 meters MSL and the clouds were
easily reachable. The wind was pushing pilots pretty strong (~25 km/h) along the
course, but it didn’t affect their take off safety. Thermals were 2-3 m/s on
average, but I heard reports of 5-6 m/s even.

Looks like the sport class pilots undercalled their task: many of them had
already made goal by 1 pm! They could have flown a much longer task! But at
least there were so many happy faces at goal!

Andrey and Hugh (first and second place in the current sport class scoring) were
mostly flying together. Their results are very close again, but Andrey managed
to be one minute faster. Peter Garrone was first at the goal field and earned
the most leading points, but was three minutes slower than Hugh! Four more
kingposted guys made goal and Richard Hughes landed in the adjacent field and
ended up one kilometer short.

Eleven open class pilots made this long task, and Guy Hubbard was only 180
meters short! Matthew Barlow won the task (for the second time at this comp.
Look at their speeds, by the way: nearly 60 km/h. I could see on their Spot
trackers page that they were flying really fast today. It was hard to keep up
down on the road.
