Join us for the 2022 Hammerhead Roundup in beautiful Borrego Springs, California! By day, you'll fly in the world's finest, permanently-waivered aerobatic box with markers larger than CIVA standards. By night, you'll trade laughs with some of the world's finest pilots at a relaxing desert resort.
The box is right next to a 5,000-foot runway and the judging line is right next to that. No shuffling to some remote cow patty; all the action happens right at Borrego.
LODGING
Call the Borrego Springs Resort at (760) 767-5700 and ask for the "IAC36 Rate". Call early because it sells out!
If no rooms are available, try Casa Del Zoro at (760) 767-0100. There are also cheap motels in town, a few minutes from the field.
TRANSPORTATION
Rental cars, Uber, and Lyft are usually not available. However, the Borrego Springs Resort has a free shuttle you can call on demand. It's a 5-minute ride. Some people will also have cars available. Ground transportation has never been a problem.
CATEGORIES
Power:
- All 5 categories
- Unlimited 4-minute Free (smoke oil and sound system on site.)

Bottom line: if you have a thing with wings, it's welcome in Borrego.
