Does anyone have news or a link to news of the Ely Nevada Grand Prix?
It's supposed to be almost over by now! John Cochrane BB

In my opinion, the IGC has sort of botched the Qualifying Grand Prix concept. Why would anyone from Europe travel to Ely for a supposedly international contest, when they had five other qualifying contests to choose from within Europe? What it should have been (and was attempted, but too late) was a US national qualifier, with international participation encouraged... Marc

Marc I spoke with Dan and he said exactly that.....too many contests in Europe at this time for it to compete with those. Too bad since a few of us are going to be in Ely this coming week and I was looking forward to meeting and flying with some of those folks. Casey Lenox KC Phoenix
