Group:

I'm looking at some vacation time the end of October and will be doing some full scale sailplane hours near Maricopa, Arizona the same time as the 'Shootout' will be going on.

Can any one familiar with the area tell me if this is close enough to Tucson for maybe a couple days at the 'Shootout'? Are they friendly to casual visitors at the flying field?

I'm too much of a newbie to that area, and I'm not familiar with this type of competition to know the answers. Any help would be appreciated..
