D3 Polk Pattern Classic 2010
A new season will here sooner than we think. We will have the Polk Pattern Classic this year February 13th and 14th here in Lakeland FL. Practice will be on Friday the 12th all day and anyone wanting to come earlier are more than welcome. This year hotels should not be a problem because we are not competing with any other major events in our area. We will be flying all the AMA classes and FAI and food will be on site Saturday and Sunday for lunch. There is plenty of room for camping so feel free to bring what you want, but make sure you bring water and electricity. I will also provide a special code to get in the gate. Hope everyone can come and see you soon.

Hey Steve,
The host club here is the Propbusters Club of Lakeland, FL. I will post below the co ordinance to our gate at our field.
Direction: I-4 exit 38 go north to first road on left. Turn left on Tomkow Rd and north to dead end. Gate is strait ahead accross intersection. It's very simple to find this place by just looking at Lakeland, FL on MSN or Google maps. You can see the field just north of the gate.
28.157506,-81.897218
Any other questions that you may have just post or send me a PM. Looking forward to coming to your contest at Miami in January
Thanks
Larry

Bill,
During this time of year we usually have north - south winds and they are usually mild. Bring your camper and I'm sure you all will have a ball.

A few hotels/motels in the area.
Motel 6 49.99 per night exit 32 863-682-0643
Jameson Inn 60.00 per night exit 33 800-972-4023
La Quinta Inn 72.00 per night exit 33 863-859-2866
These are all off of I-4 between 2 and 4 miles from the field.
There are also plenty of eating establishments at both of these exits.
There are some others hotels / motels at both of these exits but their rates are higher in price. I found these doing the yahoo travel thing.
I Hope this helps. It won't be long and it will be contest time again.

Doug,
What are you talking about? I hope everyone is coming, but as long as you and Tom are there I'm sure we'll draw a crowd.
Hey this thing is going to happen and we are all going to have a great time. Oh yeah, the Mayor and his son should be here too. So get your bags packed and we'll see you soon.

RE: D3 Polk Pattern Classic 2010
Hi all,
I'm looking forward to this contest... I missed Miami' due to a nasty four letter word called 'work'( but grateful for it).. I was a spectator last year at the Polk Pattern event.Was hanging with my friends that entered it.. and recently have been influenced to join the 'Dark Side'... Pattern...
I agree with the other post a little concerned about the wind from last year... Larry, What do we have to do? call the tower and ask them to turn the wind down? Sacrafice a virgin to the weather gods? wait, I dont think there are any in Polk County
Seriously.. Larry, I thought you did a superb job of the(first) Pattern event last year. I wish for continued success... And I will be joining the rest of the crew there this year...
Thanx,
Wayne

Orlando,
Sorry you can't make it. You're going to miss out on all the fun. Maybe we'll see you at Ocala, FL in March.
Take care
Larry

Ok,
For all those coming to Lakeland, FL to attend the contest, I have the gate code available. The code is 3234# and make sure when you mash the button that you hear a tone for each key. You also need the code to get out too.
See everyone soon.
