Don't send no Boy 
or
The September SVSS Contest
by Juan Mota

Years ago when I was involved in serious social intercourse (U.S. Infantry) I 
learned a curious card game called Hearts.  With a very diverse group of 
players, the bravado ran amok with local sayings and terms. Only a few of 
them are fit for RCSE.  When a player held a good hand, you could often hear 
the following phrase "Don't send no boy"  It was both a bluff and a warning 
to play only your best hand.  Today's Contest reminded me of that strange 
phrase.

The SVSS site in Davis, California, is located about 100 miles east of San 
Francisco and 18.4 miles west of Sacramento.  The 30 acres of grassland park 
is inhabited by burrowing owls, ground squirrels, hawks and on weekends some 
of the best TD pilots in Northern California.  The Sept. Contest was your 
typical TD contest with the tasks of 4, 6, 8, 10, in any order with open 
winches.  The weather was warm to hot and the thermals were everywhere.  So 
were large bands of sink.  SBSS, otherwise fondly know as the Mudflat Boyos, 
NBSS, CVRC,  S 3 (Reno Thermal Mafia) and NBSS all sent some of their best.  
It was it was a contest to send your best.  45 came and enjoyed a near 
flawless contest and BBQ.

The top ten were separated by just a few points. Mark Triebes took first 
flying a Millennium. Exact times and 90 plus landings were the norm.  But 
before the TD contest we held the Western States electric Zagi championships. 
Oddly, the races were dominated by fast and maneuverable Twin Stars.  We used 
PVC poles with streamers as the pylons and within 7 seconds everyone was 
laughing at the brightly colored Zagis being pursued and overrun by primmer 
gray Twin Stars.

With that introduction, SVSS invites any and all Pilots to come fly with us 
on Sunday Sept. 12th when we host the Northern California Soaring League 
contest at our Davis Site.  For more information contact SVSS president 
Dudley Dufort, at  Dudley @JPS.com 

Thermals, BBQ, fun and Zagi races are on us.
