Hartley has been at the Senior Nationals. *Since he's away while the
preferential date has come along he's going to use the
postmark dates on the paperwork. *I expect he'll be back home
shortly and will plow through all his received mail this week.

Do you have some specific question? *I think that the CD
and weatherman were also at the Srs (CD came in 3rd place
as a matter of fact).

I had a list of questions to see if I would even qualify since it's my
first contest ever. I didn't want to just send money away in the mail
without knowing if I would be able to participate. Yeah, looks like
last "friday the 13th" deadline did pass. Guess I missed it, maybe
there will still be a slot left.

I don't have an ELT for my glider will that matter for club class?
I don't have any points go for the pilot rankings...will that matter?
What is the 50 dollar remote charge...will that apply to me?
Will soar pilot be acceptable for this concept as an approved logger?
(it's not approved for badges and records however)
Is a parachute mandatory and if so....is there specifics on what kind
of chute?

Hi Scott,

Welcome to racing! You have gotten good advice from the others. I want
to second what Matt said: Come to the Region V "East" contest (even if
you do get in at Cordele). Jayne puts on a great contest and Bermuda
High is a great field to fly from. The soaring conditions are usually
excellent in June and the terrain is friendly with lots of big flat
fields.
