Last year’s popular hang gliding competition, the Santa Cruz flats race, Arizona, USA, has changed dates to benefit from lingering monsoonal moisture that will hopefully bring cumulus this year. The dates are 20-26 September with a practice day on 19th.
Competitors will be staying at the Francisco Grande Hotel and interested pilots are asked to book as soon as possible, as organisers have reserved a block of rooms but these may not accommodate everyone.
You can register at http://goflyxc.com/2009/santa_cruz_flats. Entry fee is $375 USD, due promptly after registration to secure your spot. Towing fees will be determined based on pilot/tug numbers and organisers will inform by email.
