The difference in times of the leading pack is unreal. Pipped by 13 seconds!
Must have been awesome to be in the last thermal wondering if final glide is
now or in one turn time.
Awesome stuff.

The day is looking good for today's Australian Grand Prix and they have set
a 321km task:
Lake Keepit - Rangari - Bellata - Mullaley - Report West - Finish
A terrific win yesterday for Dave Jansen when he broke away from the pack at
the second turnpoint and took a big chance to head home,
Where is WREG when you need him. Oh jeez I'm killing myself here.
At the risk of being villified on list, annit rooted an yankee word, they root
for everything, ergo, they root everything, everybody and everywhere.
Bring on the pom pom girls.
Don't ya just luv being on holidays,gives so
The race is on. Half way down the first leg Hank Kauffman is in the lead,
with Bruce Taylor, Tom Claffey Graham Parker in hot pursuit. See the Spot
tracking at http://track.soaringstuff.net/spot.html
Cheers, ROSS

Thanks Ross .. it's fun to follow the race on SPOT.. AE

It would be even better if the update frequency from spot tracking on
each glider was consistent, seems to vary from 10mins to 20mins, which
causes a leap frogging effect on the race tracking. Is it possible to
have all gliders updates synchronised together with a 5 minute or less
update?
I'm rooting for a JS1

Wash my mouth out with soap, vegemite and water! You're correct!!
From being a staunch upholder of the English language, even to the
point of calling a router a rooter (unless it is routing wood) I have
fallen to being the lowest of the low…
In JoeyGlide 2009 we were all asked to gather and turn our SPOT's on at the
same time prior to launch.
I don't know whether they stay synchronized if a message doesn't get through
but it might be worth a try.

It depends a lot on how the Spot is mounted in the glider. Ideally they need
to be flat with a good clear view of the satellite (read sky). Even then if
the glider is turning steeply when the Spot wants to transmit it will miss
the satellite which is why you get that leapfrog effect. It's not
Similarly, I received the response to your post before your post!
Noticed that the SPOT shared page for each competitor is updating faster than
the soaringstuff page. For example, Ivan has been near the first turn for ages
on soaringstuff and N of Mullaley on his shared page.

And before someone whinges yet again about other potentially better systems,
I suggest that if they want this, they put up the cash to pay for them

Presumably these are racing tasks? The (in)frequency of the updates makes them
all to appear to be turning short.
Tom and Ivan both appear to be doing their own thing at the moment...

There was a few questions about spots used for tracking the gliding GP, here
are the answers.
The purpose and main use of a Spot tracker is as a location device in case
of accident or landing out, tracking increases the chances of being located
as it will report the current or last position even
FYI, at the GP all the spots are synchronised on the grid immediately before
the launch. So given the limitations of the Spot device we get what we get.
Because the transmissions are 10 minutes apart often it will look as though
a pilot has missed the turnpoint when in fact it just didn't transmit
