VSA Seminar #4 and Race Day # 1

Come join us as we wrap up the 2018-2019 Seminar Series and kick off the 2019 Race Series in one event.
The day begins with a pilot's briefing at 10:00 with fresh coffee and Cora's coffee cake.
At 11:00, there will be a presentation of strategies for VSA race series flying.
After dinner, various speakers will present stories of their best flights over the Mendos.

(In lieu of no soaring, there will be tasking workshops held throughout the day where we will break off into groups

Windy.com indicates we’ll have a ridge of high pressure overhead, but pressure falling rapidly, providing us with abundant sunshine and maybe some instability, for our First Race Day. ASG 32 is booked, so I’ve opted to fly 88 - the ASW24.

Ben advises the rules for this year’s race series have been finalized. You may review them on the VSA web page.
