Did you know that last weekend's meet in Brazil was the only one producing scores?
posted: May 16th, 2006 Jump plane maintenance was not a problem at the hosting skydiving center of the first Grand Prix 2006 meet in the United Kingdom, the Northwest Parachute Center Cark. However, the weather was not much better than it was in Iowa last weekend, and both events did not get started. Andy Scott reported from overseas that 16 teams had entered across the board and were ready for the first round. The meet was provisionally re-scheduled for September 16-17 and now coincides with the date of the NSL Playoffs 2006. The new date still needs to be confirmed this week. (more)
