Hey Kevin.. I'd just like to say thanks for your continued contest reporting. By the end of the contest on Sunday, many are just so fried that the numbers become jumbled and others just have to get on the road and don't have time to stay for the final results. It's kind of nice to get up in the morning and really take a look at the overall outcome. Good Job

So, from now on, it looks like you "ARE" the official on scene, on-site reporter.

Nice flyn' too!

Dennis.. I'm the guy with the $85,000 "First Place" trophy! It is "FOR SALE" you know. Help me write up the add.

FOR SALE - FIRST PLACE TROPY FROM THE LAS VEGAS, 2006 SPRING IMAC
This puppy is a one of a kind. Clean, nice one owner. So far, I'll just list some of the higher optional equipment it took to get it. Five or six transmitters, $2000. Three or four GP Patty Wagstaffs with a couple DA-50's thrown into the mix. $6,000. A Comp-Arf Extra 300 with a DA-100, $5,000. A Comp-Arf 2.6m Yak with a DA-100, $5,000. A Dalton Aviation Extra 260, $7,000. Lots of misc. items including like three or four or five or six or seven or eight chargers, fuel pumps, EZ Up, excessive wear and tear on vehicle, lodging and travel expenses, $5,000. Three years of guilt payments to the wife.. you know, flying and building all week, gone all weekend and you had some schmoozing to do, $15,000. New Yukon XL to haul the suff, $40,000.

And the feeling you get when you get the first one of these... PRICELESS!

Asking price, $85,000 FIRM.
