Results from the 2022 Sports Class Contest The Air Sailing Sports Class is SSA sanctioned and scheduled for July 3-7 with a Practice Day scheduled for July 2. Summer in Reno's Great Basin area typically provides strong thermal conditions throughout the day, with light winds early in the day that typically increases into our high desert zephyr as the lift activity fades during the late afternoon. Expect 5 contest days Monday thru Friday. The week ends with an Awards Banquet and BBQ on Friday the 7th. The contest area includes some of northern Nevada's best high desert soaring terrain, with course options to the north and east as well as the more typical runs to the south. This is a great contest for beginning/intermediate racers as well as those who want to enjoy strong competition in a more relaxed and fun-filled atmosphere.
