This year it will be held Duluth, GA at the Scott Hudgens Park NASA field in the River Green Industrial Park. Duluth is located 10 miles north of downtown Atlanta. The site consists of approximately 20 acres of cleared, flat fields. This is the second time NASA has hosted the MSSC. We plan to continue and expand the fellowship of fliers attending this annual event. In the past there have been as many as 125 entrants from as many as 25 states. We encourage contestants to bring their families and extend their visit take in some of the many nearby Atlanta metropolitan attractions, shopping centers and events. Maps and Links to the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce sites are included in this MSSC web site located at www.midsouth.atlantasoaring.com The site will be open for registration by March 14th. This year's contest will consist of hand launch and RES (Friday) and two separate thermal duration events (Saturday & Sunday). The thermal duration events will flown man-on-man using five winches with a sixth back-up. Golf carts will retrieve lines. We plan on going five deep for most awards. The best overall score will be awarded counting all four events. While competitive spirit draws many of the contestants, we cannot forget that the MSSC offers a chance to meet and renew friendships within the close knit soaring community. To help foster the exchange of soaring folklore during the event, we again plan to keep the field open Saturday for sport flying while serving a low country boil dinner at the field. The all you can eat feast includes shrimp, sausage, corn on the cob, potatoes and other fresh seafood and meats and seasonal vegetables prepared at the field by the same chef who met with such acclaim at our last contest. Soft drinks will be available from the same group catering breakfasts and lunches during the contest. For those in town Friday, plan on stopping by Mi Mexico, the official NASA watering hole and t-shirt sponsor. Both Mi Mexico and the Days Inn (MSSC 2005's official hotel) are within a couple of miles of the flying site and each other. We have reserved 30 rooms at the Days Inn at Technology Park (6385 Peachtree Industrial Blvd, 1-800-329-7466) at a very special rate of $50.00 plus tax for Thursday night, June 23 through Saturday night, June 25. You will need to mention the fact that you are attending the Mid South in order to obtain this special rate or even to obtain a room at all. The $50 rate applies to a room with two double beds. A suite with a King Size bed and room for 4 occupants is also available at the special rate of $60 plus tax per night. These special rates are only available for reservations made before Thursday, June 9. After that date, the rate will go up and rooms will no longer be available. Days Inn features high speed internet connections, a swimming pool, and a complementary Continental Breakfast. It is approximately 3 miles south of the River Green on Peachtree Industrial Blvd. See the web site for additional hotel information. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
