Hi Jake,

      It's great that you have a list. Thank you making it public.    Since I mainly fly gliders I took a look at the glider times.   I was surprised at the time I saw for HLG, and question whether this is a typo.    In 1998 a two flight total of 226.2 would not only be a Kibbie site record but it would also a National Record today.   The current AMA record is 209.4 which was set in 2010.    I believe in 1998 the National record was around 180 seconds for HLG.  So either Bob didn't apply for a national record or the posted time on the spreadsheet is incorrect.

      Also, I believe in 2005 Mark Benns set an F1N record in the Kibbie dome, I was there that year(it was the Battle of Seattle) and watched him set it with a new concept of tip launching.   I don't remember the exact time, but it was around 168 seconds and a historic event for indoor HLG!

Cheers,
Kurt

I've already compiled a site records list for Kibbie.  It's based on all the published results I could find going back to the late 80's.​

I've got a nearly complete spreadsheet of Nats winners. From it you could glean a bunch of site records, mainly ETSU.

Kurt,

My dad and I were discussing that after Kent as well. It is a great idea. I think we can dig up contest results from the past years to start populating a chart for various sites.
