IAC 36 invites you to join us in Borrego for AKROFEST One-More-Than-Whatever-The-Latest-Seabring-Number-Is!
I tried to call this contest DIEAKROSCHLESIENUBERMENSCHFLUGZUEGFEST years ago, just to make life hard for whoever has to format the table of upcoming contests in Sport Aerobatics magazine, but IAC made me change it. I'm pretty sure we might try for it on the trophies, though.
Anyway, it's a super fun contest and you should totally come.
Pre-Registration
- Pre-Registration is $325 via IAC.org or $350 at the contest.
- T-Shirts are guaranteed for anyone who registers (and pays) before October 1st. After that date, we'll do our best but you may not get one because we have to order them in advance.
-
If you're competing in Primary and this is your first contest, email me at president@iac36.org for a discount on the entry fee.
Practice
- Registration/Practice opens at 0800 on Thursday, October 22nd.
- Registration closes at 1600.
- Practice is available until sunset at 1804.
-
If you'd like to practice in the box earlier than October 22nd, you need to be a member of IAC 36 (to fly under our APA waiver instead of the contest waiver). We can make that happen; email me.
