We will officially start taking birds March 4th through June 7th. We will be picking up birds every Saturday starting March 9th at Coco's in Brea between 8:00-9:00.
**All Participants please fill out perch forms when sending birds.
As the race has continued to grow over the years, it has become more and more difficult to receive/collect entry fees on time. As a result, entry fees will now be due after the 140 mile race. Prizes will now be awarded at the 190 mile race.
We look forward to a great season and wish everyone the best in OLR.
***We advise breeders mailing birds to ship Monday or Tuesday.

The Second Wind turned out to be more challenging than expected. It was a gorgeous day with very light variable winds the entire course. The "Special 3" were out front by a few minutes proving to be the best in San Diego on this day.
Congratulations to all that scored in the 3 races.
We plan on sending birds back next week. We need all breeders to send the shipping form found on website. Please fill out with where you would like bird to be sent to.
Breeders who won a prize of $600 or more please send in w-9. Also, to be found on website. A Prize shall not be released until w-9 is received.
We would like to thank all of the Breeders who participated in our San Diego races. It was a very unsual year for racing. We experienced so many abnormal weather patterns this year making we believe one of the most difficult in 20 years of OLR racing.
Happy Holidays
The Second Wind will be flown from Miami, Az, on Saturday December 2. This race will be a mass release with San Diego Holiday Classic and Royal Cup. Just under 900 birds for the release.

Congratulations to all 53 first drop winners of the California Classic! It was an extra fast race due to wind along the entire course. It was a great day at the loft with fun times had by new and old friends. Special shout out to the Flores Brothers for overall champion bird coming in the first drop of all 3 races! Close behind was John Gutierrez from New Mexico.
