BJ Herring set a new rigid wing (Class 5 and Class 2) world record for the 25 km FAI triangle at 54.63 km/h. This surpasses my record at 50.4 km/h set at Wallaby Ranch in 2001 and the flex wing record of 50.81 km/h set by Tomas Suchanek in Australia in 2000.

On his third attempt he completed the task in 27:34 minutes. He made six turns and every one of them was a waste of time as he had an extra thousand feet when he got back to Zapata.
