Re: [RCSE] Thermal Duration Contest: Triad, 2-Days, etc...

[Mike Smith]

I agree.  The western states triad was and still is a great idea.  Visalia 
is a great venue for the anchor event, but there has to be an organizer 
that can draw together the contest results data and include the standings 
and pilot data to the organizers of the next event.  So the SWC scores have 
to be normalized and provided to the Spring Fling organizers, then those 
results combined with SWC's and provided to the Visalia orgainzers.  This 
will have to be done in advance so the guys tallying the scores have data 
to include in their spreadsheet at the end of the contest.  Also, if awards 
are to be given, the organizer will have to make that happen as well and 
communicate with the involved clubs.  I think this could be a one man 
deal.  However, I am already spread way too thin to take it on.  What about 
you Edgar?  Any time to throw at this project?

Take care,
Mike

Question:  Don't know if an official word was passed out on
the Triad, is this DEAD?  We still have the Southwest
Classic, Visalia, and Spring Fling last year... so what is
going on with this "Triad" event?
Don't we have enough interest to bring this back and help
bring more interest for these events?
I guess I'm trying to get my flying fix, can't get enough
flight time in!
How about restructuring some sort of TD Championship that
might involve flying in different States, East Coast,
Central Region and West Coast!  It's a small world as we
all know it and I would be interested in attending such an
event!  Any others out there interested in such a thing?
I'm just bored at work and thinking about flying as
usual... hence the AKA "The Soaring Junkie" nick-name!
