Condor Racing
The regular Friday afternoon slot saw 8 pilots line up for our third visit attempting the Rivoli Noetsch 110kms slalom race. With 2 newbies to the task, John Borland and David Cottingham, Stewart and Chris took on the shepherding for the first run. Diana2 was the ship of choice apart from Jill who wanted to try out the shiny new Ventus. Amazing scenery as the tiny windows come into view down the valleys. Technically challenging with keeping the wings on at Vne as well as efficient climbing to achieve the high gates.
The second run was a bit more of a race with Dan having joined in, competing with Stewart in JS3's, David Cott preferring to spectate and Pete taking over from Jill in Ventus. John B wanted to try the task on his own and made a good steady run. Some more fast performances were logged with all improving on previous set times.
Great fun for a change from the normal thermal / ridge / wave tasks. - J&P
