Condor Racing
Friday's task for the regular racers was another high-speed multi-turn 81kms slalom race in the Swiss Alps from Interlaken.
After a briefing from Stewart, for the first run in LS4s the grid lined up with David, Chris, Simon, Stewart and Jill. It was more like an exploration than a race as half the field got temporarily stuck in the wrong valley, with high mountains on both sides and some serious digging out of holes was required.
Having completed the reconnaisance, a second attempt was made with David, Chris, Simon, Stewart, Pete and joined by Dan and Matt, with some additional spectators watching. It turned into a more serious race..... with Dan going for the record in a JS3-15.
It took Dan just 20minutes at a speed of 131kph to complete the course with the rest following on some time later.
Another one of those flights that need several attempts for most us to perfect but great fun and great scenery. Come and join us or just watch, the sun is always shining in Condor! - J&P
