Our weather in central Texas is the best it's been in 10 years. I can
only hope it'll hold up through the week of the upcoming Region 10
South Soaring Championship (Aug 9-15th).

For the last 5 weeks we've had a number of members with Greater
Houston Soaring and Soaring Club of Houston (the contest sponsors)
earn their Gold and Diamond distance badges. This past Saturday Ken
Sorenson of SCOH put up an 800K-plus flight on the U.S. OLC. Yesterday
thermals around our club pushed up over 6,000ASL (our field elevation
is 125ASL). If this pattern holds up (and there's no reason to think
otherwise) we're going to have a heck of a contest.

Come on down and enjoy a first-class airport, a lot of hospitality,
and hopefully some serious racing conditions. Learn more atwww.houstonsoaring.org/2009R10. My contact info is on the site.

Just two weeks to go... I can't wait!

Region 10 Contest Manager

Clearly you are getting our Colorado weather;^(

Good luck with the contest.
