Folks, were now at about 35 entries and would be delighted to have some more (Ah, for the good old days when we would sign up 100+!). Visalia we ain't, but a good time we usually are. Tom Kiesling, Mike Lackowski, Josh Glaab & Phil Barnes will be there, a high level of competition and a chance to learn from the leaders (and hear some of this season's better war stories!). Y'all come y'heah! Good Lift!

I'll be there next year in Novice class. As I'm just returning to the hobby after a 8 year hiatus. :D
