Notes: Practice flying the week prior to these events appears to be open for both the grass circles and LPad.
Pilots be sure to follow your flight orders and report to the pits at least four flights prior to your flight for pull testing. Be prepared to move up in the order should pilots in front of you pass or experience problems and take an attempt. We are short help so please don't make your Pit Boss track you down.
LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!
