An impending front with high winds tipped the race director to cancel the club class early and just grid 18m and Standard with the chance to do minimum distance tasks in a short weather window. 1145 the grid began launching into a quickly changing sky. The first half of the race was under the sun with some stronger thermals present. The pilots were pleasantly surprised with the good conditions in such a short window. The race really came down to having a good start and nailing the final glide. It was a spectacle watching over 10 pilots in standard class all arriving back at the field within two minutes. Due to the minimum distance it wasn’t a 1000 point day so the overall leaderboard didn’t shift a lot. Tomorrow is looking similar but a tiny bit warmer so the chances for another short racing window are high.
