Hi Peter, Yes. The Sailplane Racing Association's Guide to Soaring Competition is the best resource I'm aware of. http://www.cumulus-soaring.com/books/SRA/SRA-Guide.htm Many other excellent free soaring article downloads are available he http://www.cumulus-soaring.com/books.htm#Free_Downloads Also, reading the rules is highly recommended. They are intimidating and not very exciting, but not so tough to read as they appear at first glance.

There are no changes from the summary of changes published earlier. For the committee, John Godfrey, Chair Thanks guys, I do have a newbie question. Is there a good resource for neophyte racing pilots that explains tasks, start procedures, strategies etc? I think that may actually help people get into racing. Thanks Pete

The SRA guide is obsolete. Use current resources on SSA web site.
