[SuperDave]

Right on! Guys, Jer is an A+ dude and a hell of a CD. This contest is in great hands! Wish I could be there.

[Zee]

We are planning to be there, Danny and Zee from Colorado Springs.
I am working on new IMAC contest site here in Colorado Springs. We are planing to hold our contest first time at United States Air Force Academy. Even 50% planes should no have problem on this 2500 ft, runway. We don't have it all ironed out but planning date is June 28 - 29, and New Mexico guy's are welcome too.

I will be there again, last year was a great time, to bad you cant be there dave. Also zee that air force idea sounds great. I think I talked to your son about it.

[jbrink]

Great news about the Albuquerque IMAC. I've been watching for the announcement. I'm sure that I and several other N. Colorado pilots will be there again this year. We're working hard up here to make the Love-Air IMAC on July 19-20 a top notch event. I hope some of you can make the trip.
Jim Brink

[bodywerks]

I will be making plans for this. Hopefully I will see some of my old Colorado buddies there!

[Twizlair]

Hopefully the Albuquerque Aerobatics Club can get together pretty soon to hash out some details. You know the normal stuff like who has the check book and such.
We hope to see you guys here and hopefully my new work schedule will allow for some time out of town?
Take care and we will let you know when more details come about.

[jbrink]

Great. I look foreword to seeing/meeting you guys. Do me a favor and pre-register on the IMAC website and I'll do the same when I see your event up. Lets talk up these events and see what happens.
We finally got some good weather this week up here. I got the thumbs working again and started making friends with the new ride. Hope your conditions are improved, too.
Wheels down landings, Jim Brink

[hatstien]

[Twizlair]

It should be there but will check

[jbrink]

I have no idea about the 4 billion posts. The number should be much larger. Still no sign of the Albuquerque IMAC in the IMAC pre-registration.

[Twizlair]

The registration is now up and running.

[Twizlair]

Ok let me repharse that it is up not sure about the running as of this morning.
The site is giving a registration error but appears to working.
I don't know bout them thar puters much!

[Twizlair]

Quit screwin' round and get back to work on the Godfrey!

Tryin but have fed depos for the next two days so going slow:211:
BTW the boys say hi!

[SuperDave]

What's the latest TWIZ my boy?!?!?!

[Twizlair]

Hey All,
Quick up-date. Thanks to SDave leaving town we are not going to have a sponsered contest this year. No time to get that rollin.
What we have so far is a Field, a good chance for ok weather, Free lunch on Sat. and then a big BBQ get together on Sat. night at my second residence ie. my mom's place. There is a pool, there if you bring the kids (I have two so they will be there) we get lots of BBQ, Beer, and spirits, I do not think you want to drink a ton but a few cold ones sittin around and chattin is the point. (If you have special requests on the drinks let me know in advance as i will go shoppin on thursday before the contest. We usually have Ribs, links, brisket, chicken, then fixins This year i am thinkin about baked potatoes as well?
If i get some time i am goin to try to get some prizes for the contest but right now I am not soing to say for sure. The club will have to buy them outright is my guess!
The field is ours friday for practice and closed for others so if you get there let me or Len know you are there as we have to register you that day for you to be legal to fly. Len and I will be there all day.
Take care hit with other sugestions if you have em. Time is tight and lots to do so be patient.
Jeramy

[SuperDave]

I would fly back just for the food! That was a great spread last year.

[bodywerks]

Cool. Have you contacted DA? they have at least matched any dollar amount you put in for gift certificates, etc. It's really not a big deal, though - it's all about hangin' out and having fun.

Here are some pics, once again just like last year this comp was really awsome and jeremy ran it perfect.

[Extra260]

Hmm, they didnt up load, I'll try again.

[Twizlair]

Here are the scores.
basic is messed up as far as total v
alue i am having an issue getting the last single sequnce for basic to normalize. The results are correct just wierd. All other classes are correct and normalized

[bodywerks]

It was a great time! the Saturday BBQ was over the top! Thanks, Jeramy, for putting on a well-run, yet laid-back contest.

[jbrink]

Huge back pounding to Jeremy who worked so hard and brought off a smooth and fun comp. The weather was near perfect and the barbecue was off scale. Can't wait for next year.
Jim Brink

[toc pilot]

Great contest and really quick rounds. We had the oportunity to fly a third round (flts 5&6) and voted not to because we all just wanted to sit back and get ready for the BBQ, I even had time to take my kids to the movies. :198:


The contest was very laid back, very well run and a ton of FUN! Thanks Jeremy for everything. I had a great time and so did my kids.

Bill Hempel

I will be beack next year for sure!

[Twizlair]

I wish i could but i am not a real computer guy. It took me over two weeks to learn to make a call on my new windows mobile phone. If amyone know a way to help out let me know.

I am glad you guys enjoyed the event. That is my main goal we pay so much money for this hobby and sometimes we forget that is all about fun and BEER:200:
