days of competition in the North American Tornado Championships, currently taking place in the Great Sound.

After six races in the 11-race series, Jay and Pease Glaser of California have solidified their overall lead. Jay Glaser, an Olympic silver medallist, was able to take full advantage of his vast experience under difficult conditions yesterday with high winds and choppy seas.

Immediately behind the Glasers are Lars and Blair Guck of Bristol, Rhode Island, and Johnny Lovell of Texas.

Setting the pace locally have been Glen Astwood with crew Damian Payne, Alan Burland and Chris Nash and Allan Powell and Glenn Clinton, all in the top 10.
