Motivation. . . .

[Chuck Hochhalter]

I have to chime in here: being apart of Dist 6 is amazing!!!
 
The people who support you when you are winning, losing or dare I say
watching your pattern plane perform a perfect "freeflight" around the
field and ofer their help to fix whats left.  Wayne, Lance, Keith, BW,
Richard, Jim S.,  Paul, Mark,Art, Bob P., Buddy, Ed, Jon F., ..
basically all of district 6.
 
I compete, I love the challenge of others and trying to better myself
and helping those in the same quest to better their talents.  The
quality of  flyer in our district in character and talent is top notch
and I appreciate everyone of you.
 
That is not motivation but appreciation of friendship.
 
Chuck

For me;
 
1)     The Friendships developed over the years
2)     The thrill of competing, to test myself against others
3)     Fri and Sat evening with my best friend talking about anything
over a cold one.

As I'm sitting here weighing several variables for this weekend; weather
forecast, hotel cost, fuel prices, ect. . . . . 
 
I would like to know what is the number one Motivating Factor that gets
you up off your duff to pack up all of your pattern toys, drive 5-8
hours, shell out several hundred $$'s, risk a rain-out, then drive 5-8
hours back home Sunday night, get home at 2a.m., to start your work week
all over again on Monday.
 
What is the top thought in your mind as you anticipate going to a
contest . . . is it the chicks?  The big money prizes?  Is it the
thought of finally beating someone you've been trying to get the upper
hand for years?  The oohhhs and ahhhhs you're hoping to get from your
new 2005 model year Pattern Ship??  Figure out how well my new airplane
flies?  See if my 5-year old pattern plane still "has it"??
 
I guess what I'm trying to get here is: What gets you to go to a contest
5-8 hours away vs. spending the weekend at your local field or just
driving to visit your flying friends at their local field?
