Kinda like what we have done at the Nats with a full Unlimited class?

one round - 2 sequences (1 flight)

one unknown - 1 flight

The IMAC classes will fly one round each day, with one Unknown each day. So yes - two flights per day.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Joe

Hey Joe, Thanks again for the invite! It's an aboslute honour to be invited to fly with the rest of those guys and sucks that we can't make it. It looks like its going to be a killer event, and I can't imagine the hard work that would have to go into planning this sort of event. We'll definately plan for it next year!

OK lets see,

If I wanted to come up for a look would I fly to Atlanta then to Memphis as it looks to be the closest major city.

I cant see too much about Toone on the net but I assume there must be hotels etc close by. I'm sure your web page will explain a lot more but it surely does look like a great competition and nice location.

I cant wait to see more about it,

Bolivar TN is the closest major town. Memphis is about 1 hour away. I wouldn't recommend staying in Memphis unless you into the ghetto

Hello Kiwi,

Jackson is roughly 1/2 hour away from Toone - John Schroder is in Jackson today to check into hotels - etc. We will keep everyone posted.....FYI - from Atlanta to Toone, TN is roughly a 6 six hour drive.

Thanks,

Joe

Hi Chris,

After seeing you fly at the Shootout - you would have been at home with these guys

I am sorry you cant make it - and YES - alot of work and sleepless nights has already taken place!

Please do make plans for the future - we wish you luck this year, in all the contests you attend!!

Thanks Chris,

Joe
