OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT:

We are pleased to announce that this year's 44th Annual Golden State Stunt Championships will be held on Friday, October 18 through Sunday, October 20, 2024 at the Folsom Lake Recreational Park in Granite Bay, CA.
 
SEE ATTACHMENTS:  Flyer, Registration Form and Register Online Instructions. 
 
Jim Aron will be providing Online Registration on his website: www.concentricbehavior.com. Although all the details have yet to be placed on the website, Online Registration is available now.
 
There will be three asphalt circles (see attached site layout), with one circle specifically set aside for practice during the entire event. The practice circle will be available starting on Friday morning around 10:00 am with the remaining two circles available once they are set up. All circles will be available until 7:00pm.

On Saturday, depending on the number of entries, Old Time Stunt will be flown on one of the circles first, with Classic to follow. If the entries are high, Classic will be flown on the other circle at the same time as Old Time Stunt.
 
On Sunday, all PAMPA events will be flown, including Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced and Expert. Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced will fly on one circle with Expert flown on the other circle.
 
Registration will be open each day at 7:00am. Please bring your AMA card. The Pilot's Meeting will start promptly at 8:00am. Appearance Judging will be at 8:00am near the Registration Area, with Official Flights beginning shortly thereafter at around 8:30am.
 
PLEASE NOTE: Now for the bad news. We are holding this event in a California State Park and as a result, a Park Entry Fee is required. A fee of $12.00 is required and must be paid each day upon entering into this park.
 
We hope to have a food truck available for lunch. We will let you know more about this arrangement very soon.
 
There are several hotels available along the I-80 and Douglas Blvd interchange about 7-8 miles away from the park. Check with Google or Expedia to find a place within your price range and budget.
 
We are also in need of volunteers such as judges, pit bosses, runners, tabulators, you name it. If you can make yourself available, please contact me through email, text message or by phone. Your help will be greatly appreciated.
 
Finally, some may be confused regarding the dates and location of this year's event. With our first location, the Delano Municipal Airport, we ran into communication issues with the Airport Manager, who verbally agreed to let us use the facility. Then, with no explanation, refused to communicate with us as we were working out the details. After many unresponsive emails and phone calls, a secondary site was chosen at the 11th hour. However, our original date, Oct. 11 to Oct. 13, could not be used because another event had already been scheduled for this park. So we had to make the decision to either move our event to the following weekend or cancel the event entirely. We apologize for any misunderstandings and/or misinformation.
 
Lastly, we hope you will support this event. Events like this are becoming more and more difficult to have. Each year, events like this are being lost forever. We really want to keep this event going. If this site works out well, hopefully we will have a permanent home for the Golden State Stunt Championships for years to come!
 
 
Thank you for your support,
 
Dennis S. Nunes - Contest Director

PARKING UPDATE (FOR SENIORS ONLY):
If you are planning on being at the GSSC for more than one day, for those who are 62 years of age or older, you can apply for a "Limited Use Golden Bear Pass" for $20.00. This pass will allow you and your domestic partner free entry into the Folsom Lake Park for the rest of the 2024 year. This will save you some money when entering the park for 2 or more days.

NOTE: However, you must apply in person with a photo ID, Monday through Friday between the hours of 9:00 am to 4:00 pm at the Administration Office. The Administration Office is closed on Saturday and Sunday. So be sure to get there by Friday before 4:00 pm. The Office is located at: Folsom Sector Office, 7755 Folsom Auburn Rd., Folsom, CA 95630

So if you arrive on Friday, before 4:00 pm, go straight to the office and apply for a pass. DO NOT ENTER THE PARK! This will save you the $12.00 entry fee per day.
