My good friend and teammate Bill Belcourt won the Rat Race for the second time in 3 years. Bill was flying his Boomerang 6 and led almost the entire competition. It was an incredible competition with 6 consecutive days of racing and some epic conditions for Woodrat Mountain. The 7th day was canceled after many were shot off launch to over 13,000 feet and encountered strong winds. Many people broke and re-broke the altitude record for the site.
6 tasks with a nominal average of 41.5 kms and 30% of the field in goal. Not a bad week! The evening mentoring sessions, meals and parties made this a very special event.
Full results are available Here!
Congratulations Bill!
