Default D DAY in the Desert.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Its down to the wire here today and finally Tucson has turned on the weather. We have not a puff of wind here this morning and the forecast seems to hint that the day will be pretty much that way all day. The air is cool or cold depending on your interpretation and the air is heavy. Do you read performance and perfect conditions.???
Guys its on like donkey Kong today and the air is electric with anticipation. If your up to it ge yourself out here or stay tuned as we try our darndest to bring you asmuch as possible to day.

On scores there will be NO SCORES POSTED TODAY. You will see the first freestyle scores only but everything else is top secret so dont ask, we dont have them and they aint in the sharing mood with them.

All prizes are given to pilots until they are all gone. Some of these guys walk away with a ton of stuff. That is why it can pay to stand near the fence with a wad of cash and make an offer. Lots of this stuff is sold before it leaves the field.

Holy Sh!#!!............. That prize list is sickining. That is some serious reward for a job well done. Plus the cash!!!!! Dam. $15000.00 for invitational cash prize. Yah thats what im talking about. I had no idea. You know it seems a pilot could make a small living going to all the money events in a year if that pilot places well everytime. Hummmm. Very interesting.
