Great pics guys. Thanks

[ricmussman]

Wow guys! Thanks for all of the kind things to say. I can honestly say that I am glad that everyone had a great time. I still am second guessing some decisions, and wishing for some things to have turned out better, but all in all, I am happy for the weekend. I want to thank the HAWKS club for allowing me to hold this event. Myself and one other are the only IMAC guys in the entire club. So for them to give us the field for 3 days is AWESOME. Also thanks to three guys specifically,

Jay Wander my score keeper - AMAZING! (Lew, you had it easy compared to him)

Iron Chef Larry "Carbon Fiber" Coresetti - for all you do for this event and our club (President) Thanks

Doug Leighton, for all of the media support - I can't wait to see the DVD.

And to all of the other HAWKS members that came and helped in the event - Thank You!

To all of the contestants. I hope that you plan on next year to join us. I will commit to finding a better system in servicing 53 pilots on two flight lines for at least 4 rounds for everyone. It was not easy and I have some ideas but I have to talk to some important people on the IMAC Committee so see if they are possible.

Worst Moments: Telling Sportsman that we couldn't fly 4 rounds.
Running out of Ribs, I didn't get any.... (I like food )
Engine not working correctly and not getting to compete.

Best Moments: Sharing the weekend with great people.
Little trickle when I drew the winning ticket.
Flipping scoresheet when Mike Clemens called his name. Sorry Dude,
I had to do it
"Waterboy'd" You know if you were there.

Can't wait till next year, it will be better - I promise!

That was really funny Ric.
You did it so quickly after he said his name. That was the best part.
