The Santa Cruz Flats Race is happening again April 20-26, 2008 (April 19th is a practice day). Head back down to Arizona this spring for the most anticipated meet of the year! We're working on USHPA and CIVL sanctioning now and registration should open late January.

We will be again flying out of Francisco Grande, a hotel/golf resort just south of Phoenix and 45 minutes from Sky Harbor Int'l Airport. Expect most tasks to end back at the resort where you can tie down your glider in front of your hotel room right next to the pool, hot tub, and bar.

April is the best time of year in Arizona with mild temperatures, smooth yet strong thermals, and light winds. During last year's comp, we flew all 7 days and finished back at the resort on 6 of the 7 days.

Look for our registration announcement in the Oz Report soon.
