Dear Contest Pilots:

Over the past couple of years the number of contest pilot entries have been in decline. It would be nice to draft a few new pilots this season.

Please join us by talking to some of your club's newer private ship owners and beginner racing pilots and let them know about our rookie camp in Adrian, Michigan.

The terrain here is about as benign as it gets and we'll have some fine instructors at the camp. Safety is paramount and there are lots of small airports that permeate the contest site. Tony Condon will also be the CD.

Moreover, if you are an "experienced contest pilot," please consider joining us as a lecturer or camp instructor, or just be a mentor of sorts to a first-time contest pilot. Our hope is to turn a handfull of newbees into repeat customers and future competitors.

If you have any further questions, please email me privately and I will get back to you ASAP. Lastly, your participation will help two clubs, neither of whom have hosted a contest since 1979, revive a once thriving contest site. A handful of us are working hard to ensure this a well run contest... one that everyone will want to come back to. For more info, please go to: www.r6n.org (the website will launch by the end of this weekend).

Thank you for your kind consideration and support of R6N.

Best regards & safe soaring,

Chris Schrader
R6N Contest Manager
