May 20-21 -- TSL Meet Number 2
Contact Joe Hazel joehazel@flash.net for further information.
 
May 27-29 -- Formation Load Extravaganza
This will be a warm-up try-out event for the Texas Record Event in July. This Camp will focus on the tricks of the trade when it comes to formation loads. There will be a $10 registration fee and skydives will be a ticket plus a buck. Hosted by Jennifer, Tom and Rick, sign up by contacting us at skydivedallas@texoma.net

There will be a tracking contest at Skydive Spaceland in Rosharon, Texas, on Sunday, May 28, and here are the rules:
 
1. No whining! No protests, no rejumps.
2. Exit plane as instructed, go as far as you can (horizontally), perpendicular to the line of     flight, pull legal.
3. Trophy and cash prize for first place in each division. The winner in each division can go     one on one with me for double or nothing (the cash only).
4. Low pulls will be disqualified-period. You must have a two minute canopy ride - you can     do without spiraling just this once.
5. No batwings or gliding-type suits - we want you to do this in the suit you use on a     normal weekend jumping.
6. Be safe! Have fun!
7. Judge's decision is final. Please see rule # 1.
 
Entry Fee: Your jump ticket
Two Divisions: With booties (or other like devices) and without
First prize: Trophy and $100.00 (plus chance for double or nothing)
Second prize: seeking corporate sponsors, so prizes may get somewhat better
Third Prize: Jump tickets
 
Why at Spaceland?
Because there are no "Farmer McNasties," only open fields to land in if you don't make the DZ, and two parallel highways, parallel to the runway, so you can exit over one, track toward the DZ (into the prevailing wind), and hopefully, land there.
 
No, this is not the biggest prize event this year. The idea is to have some semi-serious fun and practice the lost art of tracking for one full jump, once a year (at least). Hopefully, this will promote safety and remind you to get good separation before dumping.
 
If you like to sponsor a prize or have further questions? Please feel free to contact me at lmelloncsa@aol.com
 
Hope to see you there!
