Hey fellas, I decided to start a thread regarding the upcoming 07' contest season. Rick Porqueddu put this list togethor over on the IMAC site, and I thought it would be a good idea to list it here as well. These are the tentative and confirmed contests for 07' so far. Also, we have available to us here on the Giants a seperate contest calendar for the NE Region. When we enter our events here, they not only show just in our region calendar, but also the master event calendar on the giants. Hopefully from this, threads can spawn regarding specific events if anyone has questions, and it will result in a running database of info regarding each event. Here is the link to our NE calendar if anyone would like to add their event in: https://www.flyinggiants.com/forums/calendar.php?c=5

Helps if I post the list! here is the list that Rick created over on the IMAC site.

Holy cow! 9 events so far! It's gonna be a full season this year!

Maine isnt on their yet either! That is a must attend contest for me after going last year! Awsome field, awsome people and probably the best weather of any contest we had all year. 70-75 all weekend, bright blue skies and barely a breathe of wind all weekend. Also, I am in the process of adding one more CT contest in there too... but nothing firm yet... but still working on it!

Sweet! That means we get to add some new states to the "been there" belt.

If we go to Maine, get to add Mass. and New Hampshire. And if we go to a Canada one, alot more.

Lots of mileage this summer!

Can't wait, it's gonna be a full, fun season this year.

No doubt! I was workin on my Dalton this weekend getting all pumped up for 07'!

I picked up my plane from A.I. Saturday night, I think I need to buy a trailer now, lol.

A reminder that Quebec and the Canadian Maritime Provinces are included the IMAC Northeast Region. Quebec is "do-able" to those in the New England States and Vermont. Below is a copy of the approved contests in the NE Region, and the list does include 4 contests in Quebec!! There will also be 3 contests in Newfoundland in 2007, but these will be offering Basic and Sportsman Classes only. They will not be included in the Northeast Region schedule

thanks dave. glad to here you can make it if we are able to have it!! john

Thanks for mentioning the Canadian contests as well! For some reason they werent listed on the IMAC site even though they were approved already. I may try to make one of the them this year, but I am not sure as it is a 7+ hour trip for me. I know the VT crew and most of the ME crew attend some of the Canadian events.

I will be there too! It is time to practice. Or it is too late already ...

Hey Igor, I sat in the judges chair when you were flying last year...... you seem to be getting plenty of practice......
