Tasks???
Ok, with all the discussion about Sports Class/Club Class, there are
many of us (possibly) that might start flying at regionals and possibly the nationals. I haven't flown in competion since '91 and so much has changed, that I don't follow the acronyms. Where can we go to understand the rules and tasks? I have a reasonably nice PIK and would really like to fly at least one regional next year. If there's no place to get reasonable information, perhaps someone that's a competiton veteran would follow this up with a good explanation of tasking so we might get some meaningful practice in this summer. I flew 120 miles yesterday and I could have flown a task and timed myself if I knew how. I did it in about 2.25 hours after I decided to go. How about it? Cylinders? My PIK doesn't have any... Pardon my sick sence of humor... That's just one of the terms floating around that puzzles me. Thanks in advance... Jack Womack PIK-20B N77MA (TE)

Presuming this is US, read the excellent SRA contest guide at http://sailplane-racing.org/general.htm Then sign up to the next sports class regionals in your area. Simple! John Cochrane BB
