This is a reminder of the Memorial Day Contest at Lost Hills, CA.
This is an AMA sanctioned contest, and is an opportunity to accrue time towards qualifying for the TeamFinals that will select the 2013 USA Team for the 2013 World Championships that will be held in France.
I have ordered an additional extra clean Toilet for the ladies to use, and would appreciate one of the ladies making up a sign signifying "Ladies Usage Only" to put on the toilet. The toilet will be delivered Thursday May 26th.
Alex Andriukov, Dave Saks, and Randy Secor have indicated they will be at this contest and are willing to discuss their experiences at the World Championships in Argentina las week. Hopefuly other team members and team managers will also attend and share their experiences.
Some of us will be at the field starting on the Tuesday to test fly and visit....... come join us.

UPDATE Tustin Indoor May 14 and 15
A couple changes:
We will use a different gate to enter. It is still on Armstrong, but much closer to Valencia Ave. No more dirt road!
Initially, we were going to have to share our space with a blimp. We should have the same space as before (300' X 600').
Both days have room for more fliers! Bring a friend so we can keep the cost down!
Thanks!
