High Plains Championship

[Bob Pastorello]

And something Ed did NOT mention....the scorer/computer guys were a father/son team that used to fly, but now only do the scoring for the contest.  Besides one or two other guys, this contest was "self-managing".  Ed did a great job of keeping judging assignments flexible, and lines moving, and still managed to fly quite well !!!

There wasn't an impound;  nobody on a "clock"; Ed managed flight orders, and everyone just flew.  It was a great example of a contest almost "running itself" (no slight to the monumental amount of work that we know it takes to CD, Ed !!!), and it was a lot of fun.

Except that it was just too gorgeous.  We're not used to that kind of weather handicap in D6 !!!

  The 29th High Plains Champ is over and in the books.

  We probably had the best weather for a pattern contest in the past 10 years I've been flying Pattern.

  Again, I really want to thank all who came.  We used contestant judging and everyone was more than willing to help.  The attitude of all was exemplary.  Thanx

  3 of the 5 divisions came down to the final flight to determine the winner.  Great competition!!!!!!!  The results are listed on Don Ramsey's site.
