Default LVVSA Roach Dry Lake Fall Auto-Tow Extravaganza

Can't make "reply to sender" work with my mail reader.

Great! We'll see you there. Having just camped for a weekend at Truth or
Consequences with the sky dive club's annual Water Boogie, we elected to get
a motel room.

I've emailed over a week ago to two addresses on the LVVS website and
gotten no response so I'll post my questions he My wife and I plan to
bring my LAK-17a to Roach Dry lake for the ground launch activities and I
want to know if there are any special requirements to participate. I'm
ground launch qualified with both winch and auto tow. I'm also qualified
to self launch (if I had one!) and aero tow. I'm an SSA member and fully
insured and I hold a Diamond Badge. So... Will we be welcome and will I be
able to ground launch with you? Dan "Uncle Fuzzy"

Excellent! I'll try to remember to update this thread if

conditions change at Roach. Here's a map to the dry lake from the Jean
airport. http://lvvsa.org/Pictures/Events/RoachDryLakeMapNew.jpg


You will absolutely be welcomed! You must be an SSA member, and pay the
whopping $10.00 guest membership fee (per day). Auto tows will be $10.00
each, with aero tows available at current club (cheap!) rates. Bring
sunscreen, lots of water or whatever you use to maintain hydration. I'm
going out weekend after next to drive our line and check conditions. If we
get significant rain, and the dry lake is un-usable, we'll camp at the
airport and do aero tows.
