D3 Pattern Contest - Lakeland, FL
Hello All,
There is going to be a new contest for D3. On April 25th and 26th the contest will be located on the north side of Lakeland, FL at my home field Propbuster of Polk County. Since this is my first contest I have been assured to have plenty of help running this event. Our field is a grass runway that is nicely groomed so you will have no problems with wheelpants. As soon as I can I will get GPS cooridinates for our field location and get it posted, but I'll go ahead and give normal directions now.
Direction: I-4 exit 38 go north on Hwy 33 one quarter mile to Tomkow Rd. (left). Go north on Tomkow Rd. to dead end at Old Polk City Rd. The field gate is strait across the intersection at the deadend. There will be a electronic gate code published so everyone can come and go as they please. Camper are ok, but we have no hook-ups. At Exit 33 there are 3 hotels there, Cracker Barrel, Ruby Tuesdays and McDonalds and it's about six miles from the field.
There will lunch Saturday and Sunday prepared by one of our club members. We will be have Boston Butt pulled pork sandwiches with slaw and baked beans and drinks for $4.00 ea. Entry fees will be 30.00 each which registration will be Friday the 24th all day and Saturday morning before the pilot's meeting. We will be flying all classes Sportsman through FAI.
So eveyone come and we'll have a good time flying. And if everyone has a good time and likes this location I'm planning on doing it again next year in late February. Looking back at the weather in Fedruary we had some fantastic weekend that would have been great.
If there are any questions feel free to PM me. I forgot to mention I will have the field availible all day Friday for practice.
Thanks to All
Larry
