Another application has been submitted today for the first ever FAI Sailplane Grand Prix, USA 2015!. We are up to 17 of our maximum 20 SGP competitors. Only two US/Candian (15 total) and one (5 total) registration spots are left.

Registration for US and Canadian pilots closes in less than 1 month (Sept 30, 2015, @ 10 pm EST). Up until the deadline, SSA ranking will determine which pilots are ultimately accepted for the event. If we do not fill the final international pilot, the waiting list will be filled in order of application receipt.

Not up for racing in the SGP? We are looking for experienced cross country pilots to serve as live event commentators (live youtube broadcasts featuring the FAI's new tracking technology), Sponsor liaisons (6) (spending the day with them and answering questions, explaining the activities, etc), Media liaisons (4), videographers and video editors, and numerous other support staff. If you are interested in supporting the SPG USA event in any of these roles, please give me a shout.

We will have a Schleicher ASG 32 on hand for media and sponsors. We are interested in 1 or 2 more (Arcus, Duo Discus, DG 1000, etc) to provide sponsor and media rides. These rides may include flying along with the racers on task with a national media reporter or cameraman, etc. If interested, again, please give me a shout.

We are already getting really excited about this event. It is going to be a blast!
