Hi All -

So in planning my vacation time this year (i.e. "Soaring time"), I was
saddened to realize that there's no way I can make the Sports Class
Nats at Parowan. :-( *But I still want to attend a contest in addition
to the Region 8 Regionals...

I see the Region 9 North contest was pretty heavily attended last
year, but in 2010 its being held about a month earlier in the season.
Can anyone familiar with the contest & the area explain to me what
this date move might mean for both attendance and conditions?

Thanks, take care,
