Taking a tip from another struggling hobby, automobile racing, the RC has been working to define this new class, currently called LeMonns. The new class will race under rules patterned after the more famous racing series.

The basics are as follows:

There are still many details to be worked out, so please do not bother your regional director or anyone on the Rules Committee with questions, comments or concerns about this new class or the rules for it. They have been instructed to disavow any and all knowledge of this class in order to assure completion of the definition and the class-specific rules to be ready for the 2014 racing season.

Self Launchers will be permitted, if ecologically compliant by fueling on LeMonns Juice. IGC/SSA fuel vendor approval has been extended to RealLeMonn and Tropicana.

Crew and contest staff will wear yellow safety vests while on the premises
with front and rear identifiers: LeMonn Aid.

The Competition Director will be titled " Chief Sour Puss" in this class.

In-flight ballast release will be announced per new radio communications rule using the standard phraseology of "Juicing by (insert contest number)". Failure to announce will provoke a washing penalty when confirmed by staining in team flying and flight recorder review for proximity. Stained contestant must claim by radio call inflight and landing card request for washup.

Leibacher's acidic response to inquiries was that there would be no LeMonns class seeding. As a long-term volunteer, his zest is waning.

California and Florida soaring clubs are under Treasury Dept. investigation for bribery for sanction. Linda Murray, as nationals site selection chairwoman has been seen signing for FedEx deliveries presumed to be fruit baskets.

These details are released by a source who is not authorized to speak, pending official announcements. Rules and Contest Committee members remain lips puckered in silence, and SSA Board members have called this thread a pulpless fiction.
