Wow I'm impressed I stayed there until 1600L but I read the TAFs and left once I saw winds gusting to 35+ for the rest of the day. Can they fly at night?

AND IT'S THE NEWS WE REALLY DIDN'T WANT TO HEAR... SO CLOSE, BUT WE HAVE HAD TO CANCEL THE REMAINING HEATS FOR THE ROUND OF 14 -
Hello from Prague, Czech Republic, 2.47 am :-) Reading the comments, I imagine our bosses , asking sleepy guys all over the world: "Why are you so damned tired today?" Global answer: "Well, ya know, it was a bit windy in Las Vegas..." :-)

Please give Nigel a last chance to fly the race track... -
-
We are all as disappointed as you are... and our hearts go out to Mike Goulian, who would have taken the win, and Lamb who misses out on that 3rd step on the podium

There will be a celebration for Nigel at his race hangar when he returns and we'll be sure to pass on all your positive comments!
-
Sad, but Congratulations for our Dolderer. I hope we see us at Lausitzring 2017
-
Thank you for all the fun! See everyone next year.
It's really sad for Nigel, I hoped for third place for him. He'll be missed next year... -

What a poignant moment as the sun begins to set on the last race of 2016...

Strong winds and gusts above 30 knots (34 mph) have forced the Race Committee to cancel all flying sessions in Las Vegas on 16th October, 2016.
“The strong wind today has resulted in the Race Committee taking the decision to cancel all flying sessions. Safety is out utmost priority and with gusts over 30 knots, it exceeds our ability to conduct the race in a safe manner” said Race Director, Jim DiMatteo. -
It's a pity ...but Matthias is world champion 2016 :-)
Hope to see some of you at Lausitzring 2017 !! -

Ugh safety first and always but dang! What a tough way to end. Goulian flew so well in Indy but didn't have the speed because the mixture was off, now to be spot on, and right there. Ugh
