Preliminary Scoring - and - This Weekend
CwC 2012..
Congratulations to Merlin for winning the special prize for the 'Furthest from the Spot' during the Beach'n. On Sunday, Merlin flew to Simms Corner and back to the Airport; 58 miles (580 points).. The prize (beer) will be presented to Merlin the next time we run into each other in Chelan; Hopefully this weekend.. Great Flight Mike..!
There's a reasonable chance for another good weekend of spring flying at Chelan; the freezing level is going down and so far, there is no prediction for wind.. As long as the weather doesn't turn bad, I'm heading over Friday evening; and I know of a few other pilots headed that way as well.
I'm still looking for CwC scores for the past few weeks.. Here's a preliminary overview of the scoring I've received so far.. If there are any corrections needed, please contact me..

Scores and New CwC Pilots
The scores are starting to come in for the flights so far in the 2012 edition of the Chelan weekend Classic.
If you flew the Beach'n and want to join the CwC, just send me your flight confirmation along with your totem request and you're in; you'll own your totem for life.
If you've already entered the CwC but have not yet submitted a score to formalize your totem, send me your flight confirmation and scores so your totem will be yours for life.
Provisional Totems - No Scores Submitted: Cliff (tbd) Schmitt ; needs to choose a totem and submit a scoring flight
Rebeka Booby Keene ; made her first flight off The Butte on Sunday.! She did great getting into The Junkyard . Send me your miles Booby!
Brian Loon Scott ; Brian has made a number of flights off The Butte as a CWC pilot. Since he has not yet submitted a score, his totem is still provisional and is subject to change at his discretion until he officially submits an unofficial score.
Roger Humming Bird Sharf ; flew the Beach'n this weekend and is eligible to submit a score to formalize his totem
Mike Night Hawk Kee ; still provisional; no scores submitted yet.
Preliminary Scores:
Rooster flew with Tom Johns to the Alta Lake Golf Course on a relatively stable day a couple of weekends ago. I'm still waiting for the unofficial official miles from Rooster. I'm going to guess ~17 miles..
Tom Johns has not yet entered The CwC; that's probably a good thing for the rest of us.. As a courtesy, I'm temporarily reserving the totem 'Falcon' for Tom just in case he decides to enter.
Lenny Barron flew Withrow Mansfield and back to the Junkyard on Sunday and I heard he did another XC on Saturday. Lenny has not entered The CwC; but I hope he will; his new T2C is impressive.
Osprey (last year's single surface winner) sent me his miles for Saturday and Sunday; he flew out to the flats on Sunday and I think he tagged the Pyramid turnpoint on Saturday.
I heard Raven went out on Sunday also; still waiting for his scores.
Merlin flew out somewhere near Jensen's on Saturday. On Sunday Merlin went out to Simms and back to the Chelan AP. Still waiting for those scores as well.
Thrasher flew a couple of Soccer Field flights a few weeks ago. And then Beach'n Saturday was another Soccer Field. Beach'n Sunday Thrasher went to Mansfield and back to the Beach.
Black Vulture also sent in a couple of scoring flights for Beach'n weekend; a beach flight and a short but sweet flight out to 97A
