Thu – Sat, Jan 16 – 18, 2014 (with Sunday as a contingency day)

Early morning and late afternoon glassy conditions. Two planes tow two gliders
and drop them off side-by-side. Out-and-back glide to a turnpoint. Round robin
and/or one-on-one, double-elimination. Cross the 500’ (invisible) Finish Line
ahead of your competitor to win your round!

Classes: topless race glider, rigid, king posted and single surface. Early
rounds within your class. Final rounds pit class vs. class with shorter
turnpoints for lower performance classes (handicapping based on published
polars).

Can you outrace your buddy (or arch rival) in your same class? Can you fly
farther/faster enough in your T2CombatSpeed to beat a Falcon cruising in from
two-thirds the distance? Come and see!!

Registration: $125 includes Best Glide Contest tows (guaranteed at least two,
plus one more for every match you win!), closing dinner, and awards. Open to the
first 20 paid pilots.

Optional:

Thermal Tows: We often have fine-though-not-epic mid-day conditions in January,
suitable for duration, out-and-back and XC flying (snowmobile suit not
required!!) Afternoon tows at your discretion: $25.

6030 Clinic: Based on interest, we will arrange a 6030 (and 6020) clinic with a
master instructor/pilot, including workshop, one-on-one, and coaching. Cost:
estimated $25 - $40, depending on number of participating pilots.
