As an incentive to promote local flying for 2014, The Lumby Air Force will put up cash to be shared for new official local triangle records with HG or PG launches from Coopers or Saddle Mountain or for flights originating by tow from the Freedom Flight Park. 
The 2014 race will be over Sept 30th. The prizes will be given in December for the fastest time around a pilot designated 25km, 50km and 100 km FAI triangle as determined by official track logs uploaded to the British Columbia Cross Country League http://www.westcoastsoaringclub.com/comps/bcxcleague.php 
and properly authenticated and witnessed. 
There will only be an OPEN class for PG and HG for local records and any records that become official FAI world records in any FAI class will be given an extra bonus. 
All entries must be received within 10 days of the flight to qualify for the prizes.
Congratulations to...
2013 Season Long Race winners Al Thielmann for 100 km PG Triangle Race and Andrew Berkley 50 km PG Triangle Race.

We will do this again in 2018. Be sure to upload the waypoint file to your GPS for 2018 and bring your cable.

In the air is NOT the place to learn your GPS. On the evening before the competition we are holding a GPS Tutorial Course for those that want to get up to speed on their particular models with plenty of time for testing scenarios. Register through the footer below and specify your desire for this course and your make/model. Also, be sure to bring your GPS transfer cable.
