Greetings all:

I'd like to get any feedback on the interest in flying an informal *-
one day - contest in late July.

We are trying to get something set up at Crystal (souther Cal) where
people could get their feet wet in a 'contest' type event, but not
have to commit to 4+ days.

It should be a good time, great soaring, and a BBQ at the end of the
day.

This would be the day to bring out the young (or young at heart)
pilots to introduce them to the competitive side of soaring - or to
brush up on some of your thermaling skills against some great
pilots.

The glider port will have a few 2 place's available to 'race' with an
instructor (this is a great way to get a newer pilot hooked on the
sport!) -

We are thinking a short triangle course for this event - so the 'pros'
could go around a few times and turn in the best of the day.

At this point, I would just like any feedback from anyone. *I know we
can't please everyone 100%, but - I would like to put on an event that
people like, and has the potential to get new blood involved in the
sport!

Any advise is welcome - thanks for the ideas in advance -

Sounds like fun! I would be interested. I like BBQ too!
