Just a reminder guys, the race is just over a week away. If any of the 424 guys who wanted to get started still need any help, please contact me. (Cell# (863) 670-5141, home email - [email protected] ) Rick and I are planning on testing this Saturday (March 22) and will put the poles up. This will be a typical sport pilot flying day also, so we will have to share the airspace some! This would be a great time to get lots of 1 on 1 help and to learn the 3 pole course without the last minute pressures of the race.

If some of you 428 & 422 pilots in the area would like to come and play, let me know too. I would love to have you there also.

As a reminder, March 28 will be for all 3 classes (422, 424 & 428) open practice, poles up, racing planes own the field.
March 29 - 424 & 428 racing. Racing will start at 9AM. Test flights will be prior to 8:30 and after registration only. Testing after the race will go till dark.
March 30 - 424 & 422 racing. Racing will start at 9AM. Test flights will be prior to 8:30 and after registration only.

424 – 1 race, 2 day event
428 – 1 day event
422 – 1 day event

Please feel free to contact me anytime. (Cell# (863) 670-5141, home email - [email protected]) and I will see you guys soon!

Just an update. The weather is looking good with a forcast of lows in the mid 60s and highs in the mid 80s for the weekend. It looks like we shoud have a nice weekend and a good turnout from the emails we have been receiving so far.

If you have not sent us your registration information yet, please send it to Rick at: [email protected] so we can get that done and only have to check your name in the matrix and collect funds. This will make it much easier for all of us.

Thanks a lot and see you real soon,
