Looks like Attila took away a hundred points by going fast and
starting later.

But, with the expectation of overdevelopment, they called a
shortish (for Forbes) task to the south and then east, thinking that most would
take the first start. Most did, but not all. Atilla hung back and took the
second start. Jonny apparently wanted to wait (as he wasn't able to leave the
start circle right on time), but worried about the forecast storms and went on
ahead with most everyone. All the drivers sped to goal and watched the sky for storms and for the coming
leaders. Blenky, Jonny and Atilla were the first three in (I think in that
order), but with Atilla taking the second start and the others on the first. We
watched several pilots come in over the next 15 minutes wondering what might
have happened to Zac in first place. After 16 minutes, with probably 15 pilots
between him and the first in, Zac finally made it - together with Gordon (in
second place overall and Jonas in third). It was a nail biter for everyone at
goal - and probably for those watching the trackers from abroad. In the end
there were probably 35 at goal. And, by the way, the overdevelopment never
reached us.
