I was west of the course line:





The course line was way into the blue, faraway from any clouds, so I needed to
be west of the course line to be on the east side of the clouds. Further to my
west and therefore quite a bit west of the course line were the scattered rain
showers. This was true until about fifteen miles out where I went east of the
course line to get around a shower and then west of a small shower going into
goal.


Tom Lanning's track log:





Compared with mine:





Tom started half an hour behind me and at Gail took a much more westerly course
than I. He made goal with no problems.


I heard that some pilots flew the course faster than any other course than they
had ever flown, pulling the bar in the whole way and going at 60 mph.


Do you have a track log from the last day of the pre-Worlds? Send it along with your story. Funny, but there are no
stories of the last day at Big Spring up on any of the pilots' blogs, at least
the ones that we track here at the Oz Report,
