Santa Cruz Flats '08
The North American comp season kicks off with the Santa Cruz Flats event. It'll be the premiere event of the year with all the top ranked pilots in North America coming. Bigger than the National Championships!
Right: Meet Headquarters. It was the old training center for the San Fransico Giants baseball team... thus the pool is in the shape of a bat!
We also have a limited number of rooms set aside at a special rate at the Francisco Grande Resort. They can be contacted directly at (520) 836-6444. Just mention the Santa Cruz Flats Race and they will give you the discounted rate.

Can't get a room does anyone want to share?
When I tried to book something it was to late, so I'm looking for someone who might be alone in a room and would like to share it.
Room
I took my car/gear to Fco Grande a few days ago, and got a shuttle ride to PHX from a very cool older gentleman from Hawaii. Since I need a room for 18th/19th, he told me he would rent me a decent room in his trailer? for $50/night. He said it's about 7 miles from the resort. If someone needs a room for cheap they may be able to negotiate a lower rate for the week. His name is Ran 520-518-0656. He works for J&M Shuttle....$55 one-way to/from PHX which is a good deal since it's about 50 miles. Call them 24 hours in advance...520-426-3937
room
Hi Konrad,
since Joerg cannot make it, I have an extra bed available at least for half of the comp. Just drop me a line at megagut@hotmail.com
Bis bald, Heiko

CIVL number
What is a CIVL number?
Is that similar to the FAI number?
Do I need one ?
Ben (the rookie)
CIVL number
Ben,
I did it a few days ago through a link on the Oz Report....very easy.
http://ozreport.com/1203440666
Cheers,
Another rookie.
Driver
Hey, does anyone need a good drive? Mike McFadden (nephew of Russel Brown) will be launch director and would like to drive for a decent team and make a few bucks. If anyone is in need, let me know. Mike is the greatest - anyone who has been to the Flytec meet knows him as one of the best launch crew we've got.
Driver
Don't know if Mike Mc Fadden is meanwhile full. I f not, I would love to join his team or any other for retrieval.
Safe landings,
Heiko
driver
We from the west coast need a driver.
I hope we are a worthy team...
I have yet to make it to goal, I am excited and hopefull !
From the west coast, Me, Bruce Bousfield, John Hesche, Zippy, Brian Foster and Alex Cuddy.
Cheers.
driver
Ben/Bruce,
I'm flying with a pilot from N.M. and we have a driver. We could probably take on two more. If you wanted to meet-up in Morro Bay, you are welcome to car-pool to Az with me. Drop me an e-mail.
John Hesch
Maybe can carry glider(s) from FL
This is tentatative, but I plan is to drive out from S. Fla around Mar 30. Maybe I can carry one or two gliders for other Florida pilots. But we'll need to store them somewhere for two weeks before the meet cause I'll be flying to work from PHX on 4/3 and returning 4/18, unless they'll be ok on top of car in airport parking.
Bill
edit...I may be staying out west for a while after Santa Cruz.
Hi Bill, I might take you up
Hi Bill, I might take you up on your glider ride offer Hopefully it will only be bring it back to Florida.
I'am expecting a new glider to get deliverd to Santa Cruz. Plus I,ll help out with gas
P.S. I'm going to have an extra bed avaliable in my room & I'm looking for a retrive driver or group
to tagalong with
Thanks Derreck
try to pair up in the rooms.
try to pair up in the rooms. there will be a shortage of rooms at the special price. in fact probably only enough for the pilots if every one of you pairs up. after that the price jumps to 85 and the resort might be sold out anyway.
meet points
Correction, this meet is now worth the full 600 points.
MW
east coast pilots?
Any central east coast pilots have or need a glider ride? Thanks, Peter
Need Glider ride
Peter,
Saw your post and I indeed need a glider ride if you have one. It seems like there are a few east cost pilots heading out where are you leaving from? Thanks
Charlie
REGISTRATION IS STILL OPEN!! WE MAY INCREASE THE PILOT LIMIT!!!
Keep registering. Waiting list registrants are highly likely to get a spot and we may increase the pilot limit if we get more tugs. Also, no one is confirmed until they have paid in full, and after a certain date, if still unpaid, their spot will be passed to you on the waiting list. KEEP REGISTERING!
Tug pilot (trike)
If you are interested in tug pilots on trikes, Gregg Minolli may be able to help.

cheers,
Ben.
Tug Pilot
I'll be driving form either Wa. State or Calif. If anyone needs equipment brought out to the meet I have room for 4 gliders and equipment. I'll put most everything in the trailer (except the wings) so it'll be protected.
Call for details and to work out transport $$
