New SE IMAC Event for 2007..

[Aerotech]

Hello,

Well after much work, phone calls, opinions we are ready to leak a little information for our new event for 2007. After a major event here in the SE announced that 2006 will be the last year for the event. We decided to start the reasearch to create a new IMAC event for 2007 to fill a contest gap.

Looking within the State and speaking to flying fields that have the capacity for such an event. Breem Field in Lake Wales, Florida has approved us to hold this event on March 29 through April 1st 2007. This was the biggest hurdle. Now with that said we are organizing all the details in the comming months, sponsors, schedule of events, website to pre-register etc. The FG group will make sure we are properly exposed. Right Max and Bif. LOL

I will tell you this, we are gearing the towards nice purse and some prizes for the four classes Sportsman, Intermediate, Advance and Unlimited. We already some commitements from companies and private individuals. I personally be working and taking alot of input from many people I respect in IMAC to make this event something that we hope will be an annual event. Lastly I want to thank Bob Shapiro for taking the CD position for this event. His experience with running his own contest in Venice, Fl will be a major help.

We will update this forum as things progress. We at Aerotech want again to thank all of you and we look forward to getting this contest launched.

Best Regards

John

Thanks to John at Aerotech and everyone else that is trying to keep an event like this going. My dad and I are just getting into IMAC and we will be traveling to a bunch of contests next year, and if all possible I would like to attend and support this event and everyone making it possible. Awsome guys, just awsome.

heres an idea...i never could make the challenge due to school, schedule it during the summer so all us students wont have to take off school!

Hello,

I wish we could schedule it during the summer but the northern states take up the schedule with alot of events due to the winter time and here in florida winter is the time to compete.

Thanks
John

good point, it would definintly be hard to enjoy a contest when its 100+ degrees outside.
