[LASS Soaring] Fwd: [RCSE] LOFT 2007 Contest

[Brian Kopke]

I did a quick check of the N American calendar on the website and found:

No events within 200mi until May 19-20 OVSS#1 in Cinci

So the next 2 months are open.

After that the calendar is pretty busy until September.  But we could run
some warm up events (NATS, OVSS Fall round up, etc.) in between.
