Sure hope they have that bonus zone for when you really screw up ;^) I liked that one last time.
See you there.

Hey guys,
I was just on the SVSS website signing up for the Spring Fling. Hellooooooooo...... where is everybody? Looks like a fun format - lots of flying, challenging tasks, and a great group of guys. Besides, I'll be there... who wants to miss that???? ;-)
Go here for more info - www.svss.org
By the way, there has been a small group of volunteers who have resurrected the Triad trophy. The Triad, for those who don't know, was awarded to the top scoring pilot through three Southwest based contests for the year - AZ (South West Classic), The RoseBowl 2 Day (Don't recall the name) and Visalia. With the death of PSS, the Triad got kinda lost. A few clubs tried to resurrect it, but it never really stuck. I carried the trophy around for awhile, but it was so ugly I never bothered to have my name put on it. (It's a prepetual trophy) I finally stuck it in the trailer in Visalia and ran.... ;-) But now... a new and improved Triad resurfaces....
The Spring Fling will make up the second leg this year.
It's the type of title that means a lot to a true competitor. To have won a single contest is nice, but to have bested the top soaring pilots in the West over 25-30 flights over 6 days of flying, in varying conditions, varying landing tasks is pretty meaningful. It always meant a lot to me. It was a shame to see it die.
If you scored well in AZ, better get your butt up to Sac-O-Potatoes June 25 and 26 and kick some butt. I've seen some ideas regarding the new trophy, and whichever way they go, it'll be a must have. I know I'll be working hard for it.
So everybody come on up to the Spring Fling. Support SVSS. Support the Triad. Somebody's gotta win this thing. Might as well be you. But, of course, you'll have to pry it from my cold dying hands..... ;-)
