I don't think anyone (including me) said anything about bringing back 70's, 
80's, or even 90's style pattern in the to current AMA events.   My only 
reference to older pattern (90's) was in how classes were organized and 
which were turnaround, semi-turnaround, and no turnaround.....   That's ALL 
my reference to past Pattern meant.  I think Gary may have misinterpreted 
my earlier email regarding Novice, Sportsman, Advanced, Expert, Masters and 
FAI (names which actually made sense).
