Eric starts the briefing by announcing that the Race has to be cancelled due to weather, saying that "with severe clear VFR, calm winds and low temperatures, it just doesn't seem right to fly a race!!" Luckily, he was just kidding. In contrast to the blistering heat wave and howling headwinds of last year, it's nice out this year! It seems strange to be thankful for 'only' 20+ knot headwinds!
