Subject: Late Registration Window thru April 21, 2016

All,

FAI Sailplane Grand Prix USA (July 25-31, 2016, Ionia, MI) has 3 pilot openings remaining of the 20 total competitors allowed per FAI SGP rules (17 are officially registered and committed). The competitors who have officially registered are quite impressive! Of course, the top two placing pilots will head to South Africa in November 2016 for the FAI Sailplane Grand Prix World Championships (www.sgp.aero).

With that, a second, late registration period has been opened for 3 weeks (thru April 21). If interested, email me at smfidlerATgmail dot COM questions with questions or to begin the registration process.

After April 21 SGP USA registration will be officially closed. Don't miss your chance to be a part of this great event.

We are still looking for volunteers (easy, fun stuff) in certain areas. Contact me ASAP if you're interested in helping us out. Spectators are welcomed during the event. Grand Rapids, MI airport (Delta, American, etc.) is only 30 minutes away from Ionia. We will have a large hospitality tent, live commentators and all kinds of entertainment planned for our spectators, media attendees and sponsor VIPs.

For example, we will have 3 ArcusM/ASG32's on site for 2 weeks (week before and during) providing daily media and sponsor soaring experiences. We also plan on having at least several media and sponsor VIPs flying an entire racing task along with the 15m SGP USA competition pilots during actual SAILPLANE RACES!

More soon...

Sincerely,

Sean Fidler
