Dear Sport Class Participants,
Our FAST/PRS training is rapidly approaching and it is time to make
arrangements. The application for Pylon Race School can be downloaded from
the bottom of the page at http://www.airrace.org/for_pilots/rookie.php and
the deadline for the submittal of the package is MAY 4TH.
We encourage all to participate whether they are veterans or new racers and
even if you do not have plans to race in September. It is excellent
training, wonderful camaraderie and a lot of fun. There is nowhere else
that you can experience this kind of flying.
Race Numbers:
In order to register at PRS you will need a race number. We charge $50.00

Please Reply:
It is important to us in the Sport Class to know how many pilots to
anticipate because it determines how many instructors we will need. Please
hit REPLY to tell me if you think you may be coming to either FAST or PRS.
Just type FAST, or PRS, or Both.
Thank you very much and look forward to seeing everyone soon.
