Hardie, you better check the alphas before you give anything away.
A 29kn alpha with a 10sec average of 31kn... can't see it

Thanks Yoyo for pointing this out, I've asked Glynn to send me his track for verification.

It seems that there's "method in the madness" for GPS-SS to verify unusually good tracks before putting them up.

I'm going to have to change the site to take care of situations like this. But how?

Edit: Vando beat me to it, we must have posted within seconds of each other.

Thanks guys,it was a fun day.Al did a great job with the speedfortnight and had good winds both weeks so everyone got to experience what the pit has to offer on a good day.I had a look at all the tracks today and there,s still a bit more tuning to do,but in the end I had 4 Alphas above 25.5. I recon with better wind Vando and Pierre will be back on top.

Nice work kato.

So what do ya reckon, is a 30knt alpha possible?

I have been going through my alpha's and 30knts seems a huge effort.

What do you fella's think?

Anything is possible.A square course with an entry speed of 35kts,a min jybe speed of 20kts might get you close.My entry speed was 30 with a min of 17 so room for improvement.I recon Slowly will beat us all though,just have to keep him doing his speed fixes.See what Tuesday brings
