Thanks to Andy McQuigg, he has volunteered to direct a series of weekend "Grand Prix" style races that are of no cost, other than your tow fees. Here is a website if you are interested.

Email Andy McQuigg at ash99e(at)yahoo(dot)com to sign up for the event.

Yes, I wholeheartedly agree with the above statement. If it wasn't for guys like Andy, this sport would not exist.

Not even 24 hours later after posting this, and 11 pilots are signed up. Wow!

I am really looking forward to this as I so enjoy flying alongside others. To me, that's the beauty of this sport. This is going to be alot of fun!

So 11 of 24 maximum already Scott? Only 13 spots available? 3 in high performance left?

Yes, and from what Andy said those are only the confirmed entrys. There are still a half dozen or so pilots that are tentatively planning on coming.

Speaking for Andy, this is a weekend event that is intended to be "fun, relaxed and casual", so "unless otherwise stated, water will not be used." With that said, if the majority of one class expresses a desire to load up with water because it's a booming day, then sure.
