The Santa Cruz Flats Race apparently is an excuse for a party. We're heading out this morning from near Palm Springs and should get there around 5 PM.

David Glover should be there soon. Steve Kroop from Flytec is coming for the weekend. Rob Kells and Trish are on their way this morning and will be there this evening. Over sixty pilots are coming. Jonny Durand, who has seemed very sober over the last few months, is looking forward to the Margaritas, that pilots are served before they get out of their harnesses at the Francisco Grande.

I'll be reporting on the competition, starting soon.
