Rich Owen is running unopposed for re-election to the Rules Committee. Consequently, Rich will return to his RC seat for a four-year term. Congratulations Rich!

As of 10/10 AM, half way through the polling period, we have 111 replies. That is well below the 180 or so we had last year.
The tools we are using, SSA contest pilots list service, SSA E-news service, and this forum Have been used to get the word out.
First seems to be blocked by many Spam filters.
Second is affected by Spam filters to some degree , and pilots opting out of E- news.
Last limited by viewership of this site.
We would appreciate folks getting the word out to their friends to increase awareness and participation.
For the RC

Guys
Take the time to do the survey. Its easy, fast and pretty informative. Even if your not a real active racer anymore, there are issues related to racing which affect all of us in other matters; can you say “insurance rates�.

In addition, getting your opinion to the committee is essential if you have concern for how the racing side of soaring is going. If you don’t take the time to do the survey, you have no grounds to bitch and moan when changes are made.
