Champion of Champions race

   The weekend saw what I believe was the 13th champion of champions race.  A 2 day race over a full weekend that has regularly provided some great racing and even better memories- one of my flying ideas tht seems to have worked out pretty well.

  As Slope dog and I set off into the drizzle this year, there was certainly more hope than expectation but even as the morning rain fell the Welsh hill tops were visible and the course was laid out on the VR98 slope before lunch.

Regardless of my own performance (I even managed to stand on my sunglasses before round 2), for many pilots it was their 2nd race all winter and we were loving it- isn't that the point?  Stefan and Mark were clearly the class of the field but as the sun came out just about everyone had some air to enjoy.  With 9 rounds in the day there was the chance for everyone.

We're off and William had every right to be happy with his performance

Mark colouring his Device nearly worked as a disguise, if the model names weren't on the flaps

all that fun can just get too much some times!

If a weekend like this doesn't wet your appetite for the summer what will?  See you in 3 weeks
