[RCSE] SOAR Fredrickson Memorial Contest
Some awesome flying today. There were 5 flight groups flying man on man. The last 2 flight groups got buried in the last round. Group 4 was buried by Jack Strother when he snuck away in a thermal by himself. And in Group 5 Tom Kallevang and Mike Remus put a hurt on their fellow contestants that dare to keep up with them. Tom and Jack flew the ICON and Mike Remus flying a Sharon. Oh yea and Barry was flying the Zenith. Day 1 1. Tom Kallevang 2. Mike Remus 3. Barry Anderson The winds never got much above 10 mph all day. Lift was scattered and light. Only a couple rounds had dummy air. We flew five rounds. 1. 10 min 2. 10 min 3. 12 min 4. 15 min 5. 10 min Almost an hour of flying. I got away on a couple flights and probably flew some of the highest flights I have ever flown. Maybe 3000' feet! I wish I had the LoLo setup for the Escape. Watch for more details and pics either on http://www.SOARchicago.com or http://www.JimBacus.net Steve Support anti-Spam legislation.

The 2003 SOAR Fred Fredrickson Memorial is History. All participants seemed very happy with the Weather, Food, Challenging air, and competitive spirit of the group. Positions were constantly changing throughout the day. Tom Kallevang won overall with an impressive back to back win. Martin Doney from Middle of nowhere Michigan scored a second place on Sunday, congratulations to Martin! And some of the other good pilots that often show up near the top; Mike Remus, a 2nd place, Barry Anderson 3rd place TWICE! Jack Strother and David McCarthy, 4th places Karl Miller and Rich Burnoski, 5th place winners. See complete results at http://www.SOARchicago.com.
