I always suspected Dave Lockhart of steroid use :)
Should there be an * after steroid users records ??

  Those of us in Advanced and lower are not worthy of such sponsorship just as there are not big contracts in A or AA or AAA baseball. 

  Sportsman = Little League 
  Intermediate = "A" 
  Advanced = "AA" 
  Masters  =   "AAA" 
  FAI          = Major League! = money, power, fame and servos at cost (which means 2% below Tower Hobbies price) 

  and it may or may not be true that some of the FAI guys take steroids.

  How many pilots in Intermediate and Advanced have an advantage due to 
  sponsorship?
