ANAHEIM, California USA — The Rocketry Organization of California (ROC), Tripoli Anaheim Prefecture #48, is pleased to announce they have been selected to host LDRS 20, July 19-22, 2001, at Lucerne Dry Lake, California. This will be the 20th anniversary of LDRS, which is the annual national launch event of the Tripoli Rocketry Association, Inc. (TRA). LDRS 20 will be co-hosted with LTR, Tripoli Los Angeles Prefecture #007. ROC invites all TRA members to "Return to the Birthplace of High Power".
ROC brings to bear years of experience hosting its semiannual "ROCstock" events, which draw hundreds of fliers from all over the Southwestern US. ROCstock XI, just completed, featured over 800 flights spread over two and a half days, with an accumulated Newton-second total equivalent to a small "S" motor. The normal FAA waiver for Lucerne Dry Lake is 5,300 feet (1,600 meters) above ground level (AGL); however, ROC works closely with the local FAA and windows to 10,000 feet (3000 meters) will be available all four days. Single motors to a maximum of a full "M" motor (10,240 Newton-seconds); or motors combined to a maximum of a full "N" motor (20,480 Newton-seconds) may be flown here.
Lucerne Dry Lake is located in the Mojave Desert of Southern California, near the towns of Victorville and Barstow. Many lodging options are available within 30 minutes of the launch site; Ontario International Airport (ONT) is just one hour away. Also, local attractions such as Palm Springs, Big Bear Lake, and Disneyland are within easy driving distance of the site.
The Rocketry Organization of California (ROC) is Prefecture #48 (Tripoli Anaheim) of the Tripoli Rocketry Association, Inc. ROC is also Section #538 of the National Association of Rocketry (NAR). ROC is based in Southern California.
