"So you're hooked on soaring, have a glider available, and want to stretch the envelope a bit. What better way to do it than enter a contest? You will meet lots of great, friendly and helpful people and find-out very quickly how your new-won skills stack up against others. Intimidating? Sure, but almost everything new and worthwhile is.  Remember that first solo? All of flying is a process of stretching and learning. Man's reach must exceed his grasp."  - George Moffat Soaring, February 2000
