Thanks guys, the Air Sailing event sounds like fun! But its going to
be held AFTER the Region 8 contest. The whole point of going to a Cali
competition is to get one under my belt _before_ the big R8 & 18m
Nationals... That's gonna be a busy event with a lot of gliders, and
I want to know my way around a contest and the various task types by
the time I get there. Also, I don't want to look too bad in front of
the National-level guys that will be there. :-)

If I can make it down to part or all of the Air Sailing event, I
will... But my focus is going to be on Regional comps - especially
ones in the April to Early-June timeframe.

Thanks, take care,
