COMMENTS ON DAY 9 - STANDARD NATIONALS - July 19, 1995

A three and one half hour post task was called on Day 9, Wednesday July 19, 1995. It was the best flying day of the contest. Locals, called this only an average "good" soaring day. Scattered to broken cu covered the sky based 11,000 to 12,500msl. Climb rates averaged 500 fpm with several good 900-1000fpm climbs under the best clouds.

Everyone completed the task. I don't have a score sheet before me this Thursday morning. I recall no significant shakeups in the top leaders.

Carl, KS, flying the Genesis turned in a respectable speed of around 70 mph. The winning speed was something like 73mph.
