The US National Champion won't be going to the Worlds
32.881678,-111.854982,Francisco Grande, Casa Grande, Arizona,
USA
Here is what I think is likely the order in which pilots have been
and are being chosen to be on the five or six member US National team to go to
the Worlds in 2013 at Forbes, Australia:
Pos |
Name |
|---|
1 |
Kraig Coomber |
2 |
Zac Majors |
3 |
Paris Williams |
4 |
Mitchell Shipley |
5 |
James Stinnet |
6 |
Larry Bunner |
7 |
Josef Bostik |
8 |
Dustin Martin |
9 |
Chris Zimmerman |
10 |
Ben Dunn |
11 |
Robin Hamilton |
12 |
Greg Dinauer |
13 |
Tom Lanning |
14 |
Glen Volk |
15 |
Ricker Goldsboro |
16 |
Davis Straub |
In addition, Linda Salamone and Jamie Shelden will go as the
female pilots. (Because of the severe restrictions on the number of pilots
allowed to fly in the 2013 Worlds, women pilots will in fact take up slots that
would have otherwise gone to national team pilots. It is not their personal
fault that this is the situation.) Above is the US ranking prior to the 2012 Santa Cruz Flats Race. Here are the results of the US Nationals that don't count for the US National
team:
# |

Robin Hamilton |

Ben Dunn |

Greg Dinauer |

Chris Zimmerman |

Mitch Shipley |

Ricker Goldsborough |
28 |
Larry Bunner |
33 |
Josef Bostik |
37 |
Linda Salomone |
I believe that neither Ben, nor Chris, nor Greg, nor Dustin, nor
Glen would go to Forbes any way. I could be wrong on that. This is the US ranking after the Santa Cruz Flats Race:
Pos |
Name |
|---|
1 |
Kraig Coomber |
2 |
Robin Hamilton |
3 |
Zac Majors |
4 |
Dustin Martin |
5 |
Paris Williams |

Mitchell Shipley |
7 |
James Stinnet |
8 |
Chris Zimmerman |

Glen Volk |
10 |
Larry Bunner |
11 |
Josef Bostik |
12 |
Jeff O'Brien |
13 |
Greg Dinauer |
14 |
Ben Dunn |
15 |
Davis Straub |
Jeff O'Brien wouldn't go to Forbes. 41 Linda Salamone
67 Jamie Shelden.
