Just a little note to let you all know that registration for the
Flytec Americus Cup 2014 is now open. Yes, I know it was supposed to have opened
last month, but the organizer was busy competing at Forbes and didn’t get things
set up in time (please cut her some slack ;-). So, check out the website at
www.flytecamericuscup.blogspot.com. You can find the registration page in
the upper right hand corner.

We’re really excited about this year’s event. Now that the locals understand
exactly what an aerotow hang gliding competition is, we’re expecting more
spectators, more support from the community and tons of fun. We are in the
process of negotiating a special rate for pilots at the Days Inn. If you joined
us on any of the Rally’s, this is where we stayed. It used to be called the
Jamison Inn and it’s right next door to Ruby Tuesdays where we had the prize
giving a few times. This is one of the nicest hotels in town and they’re giving
us a fantastic rate - it will be similar to what we paid at last year at the
unmentionably bad, waterless pool, poor service hotel up the road :-/. I’m
putting a clause in our agreement with them that there MUST be water (clean,
clear water) and no lawn furniture in the pool ;-).

If anyone needs help with getting gliders to Americus or retrieve teams/drivers,
etc., just let me know. I do already have a few drivers looking for a team - and
they happen to be cute girls who will get hired up quickly, so don’t dilly
dally.

So, hop online and get registered now so that we can start to get an idea of how
many tugs we will need. Time to brush the dust and snow off the hang gliding
gear and get ready for another great week of flying in Georgia!
