Hello All....

I seem to remember that there will be some soaring activity in the Chicago
area over the Labor Day weekend. Could someone please send me either the URL
or some information about what is happening when and where. As it turns out
I will be spending the weekend in the Naperville/Downers Grove area.

SOAR will be hosting the US F3J Team Selections this weekend.  More than 40 of the best pilots will be in from all over the country, including Daryl and Joe coming back from the F3B worlds.  Should be some awesome flying going on.

Thursday August 30th            8:00 AM Lippold Park opens for practice
Friday August 31st              8:00 AM Lippold Park open for practice

Saturday September 1st  8:30 AM Round 1 of preliminaries begins
Sunday September 2nd            8:30 AM Preliminary rounds continue
Monday September 3rd            8:30 AM Final rounds begin


Directions to Lippold Park (flying field) from O’Hare Airport

Take route 90 west towards Rockford and exit on Randall Rd. Take Randall Rd. north approximately 7 miles. You will pass a number of markets along with a Home Depot as you drive north. Turn left on McHenry Ave (Stop light) and follow this north to Route 14 (Virginia Ave). Turn left on Route 14 (Virginia) and continue approximately 1.5 miles to Route 176. Turn left on 176 .25 mile to Lippold Park. The flying area is straight in the east entrance and on the south side of the main parking lot. There are permanent restroom facilities on the north side of the parking area.

P.S. From Downers Grove you would take 355 North to 90.
