It was lonely out here

[Brian Young]

Clay, I know I had a good time as usual. I think you
would see a bit more turnout given a little space from
the KCRC event. I know of a couple of people at the
KCRC contest who mentioned this directly, one was
there last year.

Im sure its a pain to run these contests and hard to
get the club to participate when turnouts dont
turnout!

For all that arent familiar its a nice site, and if
the winds are low they have the chance at a sun to the
back early start with an alternate runway.

See ya next year,
