SkymonkeyONE 4 #1 July 16, 2001 For those of you out there that are also going to Quincy, just a note to say that there will be a PPPB swoop meet happening near the end. The dates are 9-11 August, with the 9th being qualifying, 10th being official practice, and the 11th being the meet. They have cut a diamond-shaped pond in the "air zone" behind the main registration tent, so that is going to be much better than last year's meet. I will be there competing, so come watch the Skymonkey put the caddywompus on it! Actually, those planning on going had better start making their plans. My wife and I are driving out in our RV and hooking up with my dad and the rest of the Alabama Gang in his much-bigger RV. Nig-noggery will certainly be in effect for the duration of the trip. Write back and say if you are coming so that we can decide on link-up plans, etc.Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

axe96bam 0 #3 July 16, 2001 I will definitely come check it out. I wonder what classes will they have for the competition? Maybe I will try to get in some of the beginner classes if I get my new canopy by then. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 4 #5 July 16, 2001 QuoteI wonder what classes will they have for the competition? Not sure, but the Perris meet had an intermediate catagory which had a 300 jump minimum. The website doesn't say anything about that, though. All it says is that there will be four rounds of "speed" and it will cost $30 to enter. My best guess is that people who are not currently ranked as pro competitors in the PPPB series will be able to qualify on that first day. Another guess is that they will have that same 300-jump minimum for qualification. I am going to check with Jim Slaton and see what the real deal is and I will get back with you later.Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You got my support!!P.S. Where is your dad's dz? Drove through 'bama this past weekend (in a lightning fast trip out to Dallas and back) and realised that the whole state isn't that far out of the way for me, so just about anywhere is driving distance for a weekend trip (mind you, an extended weekend)Kahurangi e Mahearangi,Pyke NZPF A - 2584USPA C- ?????
