The Howard Johnson was booked.

Tim,

can you promise great weather for this event? temps in the mid 80's? maybe light winds? i may have a schedule issue getting to the regionals and might make this my last contest of '08. any help would be appreciated.

Sure thing, the weather will be awesome. No, seriously though It is looking pretty good on the extended forecast. It probably depends alot on the hurricane.

Hope you make it.

I meant Hurricane, and you missed forecast.

Your butchering of Hurricane drew my attention away from Forecast.

Next Friday will be rain but that will clear it out for the weekend. High temps of low 80's, sounds like good IMAC weather to me. Love to see you there Hubb.

I am still planning on coming, my last IMAC other than Tucson "planned".

K, got my schedule rearranged as best I could. It is still going to be a gametime decision but I should see you all there Sat morning. Rock on!

Everything is looking good, even the weather looks like it might be pretty nice. See everyone there. I should be there on Friday before 1530, I think Tom may be there earlier, not sure. If anyone shows up before just make yourself at home and practice or whatever.

I will probably have to skip this contest. Funds and a lack of an airplane are probably gonna keep me home. Best of luck/skill to all those flying this weekend.I really wanted to make it, guess it's just not in the cards for me.


Looking forward to seeing everyone in Wheeler....Peace...

If anybody needs anything you can call me on my cell at 812-207-6294.
Jeff Williams, contest director.

Would anyone care for updates and pics from the field this weekend?
