Default 07 ALBUQUERQUE IMAC CHALLENGE June 9-10

We are a month away from one of the premier IMAC contests in the Southwest, the Albuquerque IMAC Challenge, June 9th and 10th. This year promises to be the best yet! The same great ingredients will be included to make this year even bigger and better.

Features:

Experienced IMAC CD, assistants, and scorekeepers
FREE catered pilot’s lunch on Saturday (possibly breakfast and Sunday lunch as well)
HUGE prize pool
Camping on-site allowed (no hook-ups)
Freshly black-topped runway and parking area
Field open to IMAC practice only on Friday Jun 8th
Shootout and SW Regional points up for grabs

So, maybe you thought Albuquerque was too far to drive? Here are some driving details:

El Paso to Albuquerque=4 Hours
Lubbock, TX=5 hours and 45 minutes
Tucson to Albuquerque=6 hours
Denver to Albuquerque=6 hours
Phoenix to Albuquerque=6 hours and 30 minutes
Midland, TX to Albuquerque=6.5 hours
Las Vegas to Albuquerque=8 hours 26 minutes

We promise you will have a good time…PERIOD

Ask a pilot who came last year how well they were treated at the Albuquerque IMAC Challenge!

For more details, including a map to the field, please click on the link below:

A few hotel suggestions:

All on Iliff road off Coors Blvd
LaQuinta
Holiday Inn Express
Comfort Inn
Motel 6
or
Microtel on 98th St SW

We had 33 pilots last year, we aim to break that record this year. Please don’t hesitate to contact me or the CD Dave Pattison if you have any questions.

So… WHO'S IN???

If you are planning to attend, please pre-register so we can have a close head count. This will give us an idea on how much food we will need for the FREE pilot/helper lunch.

Dave, it's not really that far from Midland, more like 6.5 hours.

As always, my fingers are crossed. Still want to come back.
