A few years ago our club ran an impromptu contest, the point of which
was to see who could get to the highest altitude within a set time. One of
the fellows had an altimeter watch, and we would move it from plane to
plane.
Each contestant had a short time---I think it was 4 minutes, to get as
high as possible, and then was required to land immediately.
The winner had something like 2700 feet of gain.
It was lots of fun. We called it the Viagra Cup.
