I'll get the results of the contest posted shortly.

I do have the winner of the boat race Saturda night. I forgot to mention during the awards. The lower class pilots take it this year. They beat up the upper class in style. The series is even at 1-1. The winners received around of Margarita's mixed with Dean's gas powered blender. Way to go guys and gals!!!!

Thanks to all the competitors and their family's for coming out. Great turn out with 28 pilots. I warned everyone about the sun reflextion and we had it both days of the event. Other then the Med Likfe blimp that flew by Sunday morning. It was your typlical contest.

Thanks to the Thunderbird club for letting us play on their field.

Rick

Thanks Rick to you and the Thunderbird club for hosting another great event. The contest was well run with good food. It was good to see everybody again and enjoy all the great friends within SC.

Dean

PS: Even though you finally pronounced my last name correctly I think I added up over 2 pounds of extra weight that will be added to your 43% Carden.

I think I got it Dan. However, Ryan is still struggling with the concept.

The contest was great, thanks to the Ft. Worth Thunderbird's and the IMAC SC crew for putting on a well run contest.

For me it was great to shake hands with people I've seen only on these forums; Ryan Gonsoulin, Dean "5oz" Nistetter, Rick Byrd & Jeremy Holt.

Thanks guys, hope to see you all next year!
