hi

I was wondering why registration was closed only 5 hours after the start of the Dubai race? An 0900UTC start translates into a 0200 start for me, and on a weekday that doesn't work. I had planned to get going a bit late but found myself locked out of the race. By comparison, there were starters in the Saturday Texada race (another 0900 UTC start time) that started very late, and in fact, did quite well. So... can the RC please consider some of us out on the west end of North America in terms of the start times and registration closures. If there are other factors like, say server usage or something,it would be great to know when registration will be closing- perhaps I missed something, but it hasn't been an issue for me previously.

Thanks
Nick

Sorry Nick. Yes, I closed it due to server load considerations. We need to keep things tight when several races are open simultaneously. I agree that more information and planning would be good and we are working in that direction.

I can't see the problem. It's possible to register in a race days before and to park the boat with twa=0 at the starting point until the personal time schedule fits to the race.

...I do not see a problem either. We simply need to open and close races every now and then. :-)

thanks for the explaination Jakob. It was a sort of oversight on my part to miss registering early.

Cheers

Mad Max by Balloon 2026 - Across the Outback


Mad Max Rockatansky doesn’t get to go in a balloon in any of the Legends of the Wasteland, and the Wasteland is not necessarily the Outback of Australia, but Mel Gibson and film director George Miller indubitably are… of Australia, and ballooning as reconnaissance is a main feature of the Mad Max spin-off video game, so here goes: 1500nm in a balloon from somewhere on the edge of the Outback, Goondiwindi, to cross a finish line at Fitzroy Crossing, somewhere on the edge of the Outback!
