Steve did summarized it up good:

"...Really nice sunny SSW day and good truck towing weather.... 8 pilots showed up for some Friday truck tows....we had some mild soaring for most, and Peter Kane had the biggest flight of the day by climbing out to 3600 feet and scoring over an hour of air time....but over all a really nice day with winds that were about 8-12 mph and a great direction...."

Personally had 4 tow's and got up to 1100 feet on my 3rd. Again, Peter was in a different class, really flying very efficient. No one could match him.

Longest flight I had was 11 minutes and really tricky to core thermals.

Though, great day overall!

Not an epic flight, but here is a video to view the day if interested.
