Grand Prix Update 9-17-13

Hello to all the competitors in the Grand Prix Race! So far, everything is ready to go starting on September 27th for those who can make it to the unofficial practice day and for ALL pilots the mandatory safety meeting that evening.

Great news - Andreea will be here for the weekend and it will be good to see her. She will be a big help for all of us.

We will have a pilot packet ready for each pilot with the usual contest type forms please have all of your required documents for registration. Those of you that have no crews must fill out another form stating who that person will be in the event that you land out. The daily pilots meeting will be in the big hangar and we will meet each morning at10 am for the weather briefing and the probable tasks.

I will give a detailed briefing on the start finish line and a few safety rules we must adhere to. If you have not done so please look at the Seminole Lake website for useful info on the field rules traffic patterns, frequencies, etc. Please make sure that your sailplane and trailer are in perfect working order everyone must have down loadable navigation instruments and a fully functional radio. If the weather is in question for this or any future races we will post it on the website that the weekend is cancelled. If you have any questions please e-mail me directly at .

I look forward to seeing all of you. Remember, safety first and it will be a great soaring experience for everyone.

Regards,
Andy McQuigg

Cannot wait for this!!! The Start Line is going to be a blast!
