Another WWC has been fought and won.
In a year marked with unprecedented unprecendentingness it would be remiss of the WWCRAP not to make special mention this year of the true influencers of the now infamous WWC number 10. Never in the history of the WWC have two things conspired to alter the results of such revered competition. So a very special thank you must go out to COVID19 and Anastacia for forcing those amongst us who should be at work to go gliding and those who should be gliding (like me) go back to work.
Ah well we can only dream of what might have been.
So congratulations to “Look at me Laurie” for winning the WWC10 Points with his “working from home / gliding club” strategy and amassing 113 points !!! Well done Laurie your first place on The Cup is well deserved !!!
2nd place goes to Tony with 92 points flying his Ka6 and 3rd to Scott Johnson in his not -so-infested-with-white-ants FGF (Fibre Glass Fatigued) Ventus. Full WWC Points results pasted down below for those of you who can be bothered scrolling down that far.
Now the Distance trophy …yes drum roll….. the old sly 9Kts Nigel has done it again with a winning distance of 295.4km !!!!! Ol’ 9kts booked the club’s Discus WA on the last weekend of the WWC over 12 months ago and it has paid off yet again. However he almost came unstuck by leaving Monday 31st August open and had the many, many, many gliding gods lined up and given the rest of us half a chance then the result could have been very different. Congrats to you 9kts again you will have your name scratched on the wonderful trophy distance and go down as a multi winner along side other sports stars of the modern era. Such is Ol’ 9kts greatness now he may be renamed the Tiger Woods of the Warwick Winter Cup …just a thought
2nd place to Pistol Pete – what a major performance 284.29km in his Cirrus and really put it to Ol’ Tiger …err sorry… Ol’ 9kts. Congrats Pistol but maybe next year. 3rd Place to Scotty Johnson in the FGF (Fibre Glass Fatigued) Ventus with an amazing 235.95km . Well done to all !!
SLACCA (Self Launching Aircraft Cross Country Award) trophy thingy.
Not bad for winter – Congratulations to Mighty Mal for taking out this year’s SLACCA with a seriously good 428.36 km and beating the other two contenders Dictator Dan and Dictator David to the trophy (still under construction). Mal’s performance puts him in *third place in all time WWC longest distance behind Ol’ Tiger (whoops) 9kts and Blue Dog Errol.
- * Previously the WWCRAP announced that Mal had grabbed 2nd place on the longest over all distance however the WWCRAP received a bribe of significant value and was coerced into rechecking the facts to find they had misread the OLC points and distance.
