2004

2004 Started out with a bang, the first 2 weekends were good races, with Pine Mtn being the best conditions, we did many long fast flights that weekend. Otherwise 2004 was pretty rainy and we were lucky to get in as many days as we did.

2003

2003 is official, it rained a bunch this year so we added and added races… and finally got a season full.
We saw some great performance by the B class guys, Chris Brann takes the Win.
A class winner Dave Stevenson tormented us in 2002 with a Foka, in 2003 it was a K-6. 2004 beware of the Elfe!
Also notable from GTA A class we got a Winner of Region 5 North in 15m Bill Elliot
and Open Class Nationals winner Dick Butler.
Congrats to all.

2002

It is official, we have winners and a whole bunch of them for this season.
Dare I say we had the best GTA season ever, with 16 race days and great attendance. We’ve had a lot of great performance by newcomers. We got lucky on the weather this year. I think many years from now you can ask anyone that was at our Cordele race, and you will see their eyes light up before the stories pour forth. [try it]

For B Class
Congratulations to John McClary, 2002 GTA Champion! John is new to racing and has just flown his first GTA season. Great! The scoring was a tight race but he edged out the other guys. Second place: Conrad Suechting, Third place: David Hammond – also new to racing.

For A Class
Congratulations to Dave Stevenson, 2002 GTA Champion (too bad we do not have a trophy quite as big as the 2002 Sports Class National one for his shelf). Great season! Second place: Fernando Silva, Third place: Bill Elliott

In Fourth place is newcomer Bob Stern, he flew his first contest this year at LaGrange in March. He has had a pretty amazing season. I would like to give a special thank you to Fernando, I know many pilots are thankful for all the time FS invested in the GTA this year, as a scorer [which can be quite time consuming], contest director and mentor.

For those lucky enough to be at Cordele this year – Several pilots have FS’s clever task calling that allowed us to take advantage of the incredible weather for both getting in a day of racing and 300 & 500k flights for gold and diamond claims. Conrad Suechting and Tim Larsen earned their Gold distances that day.

T-Shirts should be available at Octoberfest, and I think the trophies will be handed out early 2003 [Jan/Feb] at the Georgia Soaring Hall of Fame induction ceremony. Hope you can attend both. See you there and next season. [I can’t wait ’til next year] Chris Ruf, H6

1998 GTA Results

Dear All, We have finally scored the last GTA series race and have corrected all earlier scores to reflect the 1998 SSA Sports Class handicaps. As you’ll recall we had used the 1997 handicaps until mid-season, when I got a copy of the 1998 handicaps. I went back and rescored all races with the 1998 handicaps. We had a great race series with record participation in Classes A and B. We also had two of the most memorable race days in the Southeast at LaGrange with speeds in excess of 70 mph! [See the GPS Recordings below]. Cordele, Monroe and Moontown also provided memorable experiences and all were great hosts.

Many thanks to all who supported us from the clubs involved! This year we had many newcomers who raced for the first time and dramatically improved their cross-country skills as the season progressed. Special recognition goes to all the newcomers in Class B: Chris Ruf, Tom Speer, Chuck Patterson, Jim Gager, Brad Kueven and Bill Lardin. Class A also had new entrants: David McGaughey, Bill Poole and Tim McGowin. They took their flying to a whole new level and could all be threats next year. Finally we would like to recognize all the “veterans” who helped mentor our newcomers and who made this years’ series the most competitive ever: Rand Baldwin, John Bojack, Gary Carter, Mitch Deutsch, Hartley Falbaum, Larry Goddard, Suzanne Lauer, Mark Morton, Francois Pin, Joe Owensby and Gilly Smith. Taking the top six results from each competitor, the top finishers in each class were:

Class A:
Fernando Silva	5885
John Bojack	5376
Francois Pin	4927
Gary Carter	4681
Mitch Deutsch	4144
Class B:
Chris Ruf/Tom Speir/Chuck Patterson	4928
Jim Gager	4684
Brad Kueven	4448
Bill Lardin	3044
Bruce Fox	1981

Attached are the detail results in an Excel file: GTA_1998_Score_Summary.xls. We look forward to another great season in 1999! Regards, Fernando Silva

1997 GTA Results
1997 and previous years results will be shown in the future hopefully someone has the old records and can share.

GPS Flight Recordings – old ones

File	Comments
2001-05-moontown_flights.zip	May 5 & 6 2001 Moontown flights.
2001Apr8Logs.zip	April 8 2001 Chilhowee race flights.
995c5721.zip	September 5, 1999 – Mitch gets to 10,000MSL during a GTA race at Chilhowee. It seems that the hurricane over the Carolina coast dropped the atmospheric pressure and the instability helped create great lift.
9a3c0w81.zip 9a3c0581.zip	October 3, 1999 – WAVE at Chilhowee The first trace shows 2 flights, the first one shows steady wave lift , not the same as the Sierra Wave, but FUN to explore. There were even defined rotor clouds near the gap. The second file is John Bojack’s wave flight
83tc.zip 83sc.zip	Two of the best racing days in the South. March 1998 in LaGrange turned out to be a really fast day with great lift under great CUs. Speeds in excess of 70 mph!These are fun to view in Multiple flight mode to see the Rat Race!
