[NSRCA-discussion] High Sierra Patern Shootout - Gardnerville, NV

[Ed Miller]

Could someone from the Gardnerville Club let Ken Nelson know I said hello ??  He and I flew pattern in the 90's with the Mid Hudson RC club in Dutchess county NY until he moved.

  WOW, what a great contest!!!  

   The Gardnerville Club, Tom Messer (CD), Al Messer and Rich Verrano teamed up to put on a super contest.  Weather was beautiful, good turnout with 29 contestants, beautiful flying site and good support from the host club all added up to a great time.

  More details and some pix on the District 7 website    www.nsrca.org/d7  

  This contest reminded me of pattern contests from 10-15 years ago with the larger turnout, large raffle (about $2000 in raffle prizes), contest hats for the contestants and people traveling long distances to attend.  Several from as far away as Phoenix (Troy Newman, Greg Frohriech, Rusty Fried and Frank Kelly)  and George Asteris even came from New Jersey!!!  That's some serious pattern travel!!

  Thanks to the club, Tom, Al and Rich for putting together a great time for us all.
