My wife and I visited SLGP for the Grand Prix Race last Sunday and enjoyed our visit very much. We walked the grid, watched the launch and spent a nice afternoon at the Gliderport in weather that couldn't have been much nicer.. We enjoyed a picnic lunch in the shade by the pool. Michelle took advantage of the wi-fi to get her school work done while I caught up with the news at Seminole Lake.

The best part for me was watching the first of the competitors return. It was one of the two Libelles in the race. My initial reaction was THIS IS GREAT. A guy with one of the oldest, lowest performance gliders in the field wins the race! The ultimate, Cinderella story...unfortunately it was not to be. I learned later that the gentleman flew the wrong course and did not win after all. But it sure was fun while it lasted!

I hope you keep the series going. Someday I'd like to participate.
