Why no more TOC?
Why did the competition stop? Or does it still happen under some other name?

Re: Why no more TOC?
The TOC could never be replaced. You had to experience it to understand, it was majical, like Disney for a 6 year old. It was the total package in it's prime, the planes that were unobtainable by anyone outside the TOC, the inovation involved in making a plane competitive there. You couldn't just go by the latest and greatest and be competitive, it took being 2 steps ahead of everyone else. Also being located in Vegas, having Bill Bennet as "the Man" (very interesting guy), it was amazing. The Masters is incredible, Tucson is great, a Bill Bennet Memorial Contest would be terriffic, btu there will never be another TOC. And for those who "get it" using the term TOC for anything else is a disgrace (glad to see they changed the name, although for different reasons).
Mr. Bennett and all those involved in making the TOC what it was deserve a tip of the hat every tiem we go out and fly the planes we have now. Without their forward thinking, the face of aeromodeling would look a lot different. Kev |
