The Region 1 Soaring Contest is being held again this year after a three year hiatus... and a lot of us (okay, a few dozen of us...) are really happy about that. Details here.
Anyone with some time on their hands and interested in an insider's peek at competition soaring... and willing to help out by crewing for me and possibly others should contact me. The principal need is for drivers in the event of an off field landing (that will be someone else, surely not me). If it were me, you'd have to be able to drive a manual transmission, but since it won't be me, it'll likely be an automatic. But there's other stuff to do as well, it's amazing how many hands it can take to safely and efficiently move 30+ gliders around on one little airport safely and efficiently.
Attendance gets you dinner accompanied by guys who wear funny hats and unstylish sunglasses by day and tell improbable stories by night. The competition clinics by Doug Jacobs are also excellent and 90% of what is covered is germane to XC flying generally.
Dates are 6/15 - 6/21. If you are a maybe or can only make part of the week, that's fine, contact me (see member list for contact info) and we'll see what we can work out.
