They finally got something posted!.

ULTRA CLASS

1. Heath R. 2.32
2. Jay M. 2.534
3. Ian B. 2.467
4. J.C. 2.70
5. Andy F. 2.567

STANDARD

1. Tim Bates 3.60
2. Collin Sinclair 2.90


The times are right. The order is also based on any penelties they may have had.

The distance rounds started this morning. When I left Heath was in the lead with a 350ft swoop. SWEET! The man is on a mission. The guys are averaging 70 MPH just as thy are coming off the water. They have a radar gun set up right at the edge of the water. J.C. was right on Heaths tail for the distance. They didn't call out his distance but from where I was standing you could tell he was very close to Heaths mark. Sonic had a nice run as well but touched his feet down at about the 150-175 foot mark and then kept going, but the distance is judged from where you first touch the ground. There was another cut away this morning as well. They had a few more after I left yesterday as well. There should be some really cool aerial pics somewhere soon. They got a para motor up just as I was leaving. He is flying around at about 400 ft. taking pictures and video. The 4th plane was taking off as I left. I will see what is posted after work and get something up for you guys.

I copied the results into the attached XL spreadsheet. I've added calculations for speed, average time and average speed.

According to Addendum B (Speed Course) Para 1 (Dimensions) Sub-para 1.1.1.1. Competition Course of the rules, the length for Ultra class should be 220 feet. This is set-up as a reference in cell A1 called CourseDistance which you can change if it is wrong. Also used a fps to mph factor of 0.6818 which is stored in cell A2 with the name FpsMphFactor which you can also change.

I also won't be surprised if Heath takes speed. That is, if he wins for speed... not that he takes speed, er... shut up.

Did I call it or did I call it? Damn. I should have put money on that.

Edited to add:

Thanks for the XLS. That's pretty damn nuts to average 60+ MPH across the entire distance. Too bad Luigi had a vertical. He would have been up there otherwise.

That's not how it works. You're talking about an instantaneous velocity. That means very little. Average velocity is what counts. Sustained speed. Trust me, I was hitting in the 70's on my runs and it was only good enough for 19th.
