SSA Region 1 Races?

Greg, I do know the whereabouts of the Red Baron trophy as I was the last to "steal it". It is currently hanging in the FBO at Sterling MA (3b3) (GBSC). Originally it was claimed by flying to the airport that had it, and you took it back with a ground retrieve. When i "took it" I few to Springfield and landed, then got a relight from Walter, and flew back home. I would like to think this would be the "new normal" that you would fly up and GBSC would give you a free 2k tow and you can fly back. But nothing wrong with just landing and taking it back with your crew.

Just a note, it will not fit in your glider on the way back. I was thinking about redesigning it for easier transport. But if you fly up to claim it, we will happily ship it back to you...

There, the gauntlet is thrown...

As for a new R1 Contest it would be great. If they are game, it seems Springfield would be the perfect place, and we do have lots of capable pilots up here to run it. So if we could coax NESA to host, and perhaps provide a CM, i am sure we can come up with a CD.
