tracking distances

I know we touched on it within an earlier thread - if we are talking about keeping track of top speeds each day will there be something that we could keep track of both speeds and distances each day (for each pilot to enter on their own). would make for some interesting stats after the event.

We had quite a few days during the week that were hot and calm for wind except for some early morning wind one day, then a little late wind another and a few days where it seemed like the winds were dropping down and almost everyone parked except for 4-5 of us that kept riding and found some magical winds mid lake. Overall daily mileage was low this year racking up a total of 238 miles from sunday to saturday (packing up in the afternoon saturday and missing the nice evening wind).

Saturday afternoon had some intense gusts roll through around the time the races were going on and then eased up and most people came in or started the out'n back - mid lake I was finding some really nice unexpected wind troughs and got 57.4mph with the Synergy 8 on one run, so some nice wind surprises when you least expect it
