Default LVVSA Roach Dry Lake Fall Auto-Tow Extravaganza

We love dinner at the field...! ...And beer, and telling lies!

Okay on the Hotel, but you really need to stick around long enough for
dinner. There's always WAY too much food! We also do breakfast Sunday
morning. G

Can't make "reply to sender" work with my mail reader. Great! We'll see
you there. Having just camped for a weekend at Truth or Consequences with
the sky dive club's annual Water Boogie, we elected to get a motel room.

over a week ago to two addresses on the LVVS website and gotten no

LAK-17a to Roach Dry lake for the ground launch activities and I want to
know if there are any special requirements to participate. I'm ground
launch qualified with both winch and auto tow. I'm also qualified to
self launch (if I had one!) and aero tow. I'm an SSA member and fully
insured and I hold a Diamond Badge. So... Will we be welcome and will I be
able to ground launch with you? Dan "Uncle Fuzzy"

Excellent! I'll try to remember to update this thread if

conditions change at Roach. Here's a map to the dry lake from the Jean
airport. http://lvvsa.org/Pictures/Events/RoachDryLakeMapNew.jpg You
will absolutely be welcomed! You must be an SSA member, and pay the
whopping $10.00 guest membership fee (per day). Auto tows will be $10.00
each, with aero tows available at current club (cheap!) rates. Bring
sunscreen, lots of water or whatever you use to maintain hydration. I'm
going out weekend after next to drive our line and check conditions. If we
get significant rain, and the dry lake is un-usable, we'll camp at the
airport and do aero tows. Feel free to email me directly from here, or at
