Okay Sleepy,
Time for a resurgence Giants! Sleepy, I'll bite on this one again...... I'll send our team manager another $25.00 for Team U.S.A!
Let ya'll in on a little news..... Brett is practicing daily with new planes and is awesome! Had a phone conversation with him and he is burning the fuel and putting in the hours. While the World Championships are no cakewalk, it sounds like our Team is putting in the effort to kick some tail in Portugal. Let's get behind them and donate a bit more to the effort!
WT GO TEAM U.S.A. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Times are tough for a lot of folks out there and I'm sure this is low on their priority list. Mind you, I don't think the "Give $25.00 and get an Award" thing is helping. I'm sure that some folks that would have given 5 or 10 bucks saw that and said screw it.

You don't have to donate $25, I'm sure $5 or $10 will still be accepted. You just don't get a cool little award thingy. I didn't get a cool little award thingy, either. All I got was a slip of paper with a list of prizes I could win

Worthy cause for sure. The US is sending some of the finest pilots; people to the worlds. A little support from a lot of us will go a long way towards helping them.
