The Dayton, Ohio First Flight Senior Tournament is back on the SPA schedule but with a new name and new date.
"We were never really gone," tournament director John Zampatti said, "it was just a matter of seeing when our Dayton fields were available and what SPA dates were available so we could match them."
The new dates correspond with the new name "Dayton First Flight Fire Cracker" SPA Tournament.
The dates are July 5-6-7-8 and is open to all ages and depending on teams entered, all divisions.
Entry fee is $450.
