[NSRCA-discussion] Congratulations D5, proud holders of the Ryder trophy for 2006

[Terry Terrenoire]

There is always an individual option! If pushed past the "drop dead" time
for me to leave Sunday, I have been known to drop out and miss the last
round. Maybe since I am rarely in contention this may not be a prime
option considered by others. But it sure beats not flying at all!

 Del, I see your point. Maybe what we need to do in the future is
consider taking Mondays off instead of Fridays. That way we don't have
this situation on Mondays.
 Look I expect that things will remain the same. I'm not proposing that
we fly late on Sundays I'd just like the option to fly a little later
than normal if mother nature is making things difficult. I'd like it if
we would stop being in such a rush to go home.
 I fly in 6 to 8 contests a year. I spend the rest of the year preparing
for these. Its a big commitment to prepare to compete. I think we may
have too many who don't care about the competition and fail to respect
the wishes of those who do. Maybe we should just change contests to
informal get togethers. Have dinner, BS, complain and fly if you feel
like it. I'd have far less grief that way.

Thanks for setting me straight..  Well my view is I need to leave by
certain departure time to get kids and planes to bed so I can get at
least 6.5 hours sleep at minimum..  I always need an 90 minute to get
ready and eat before leaving house for Mondays work. That doesn't not
include the 50 minute to hour commute. So when you do that math means for
me I have to depart no later than 4pm Sunday for contest long drive away.

 Thanks Del I understand it but in the case of rain shouldn't we have a
different mentallity? Also thanks for the sympathy but the crashes were
Marty Kings and on Friday Larry Auer lost his expensive Pinnacle.

Hi Mike..
    My heart goes out to you on your terrible loss of a prize plane. 
    I wanted to share my view on the wrapping up early on Sunday at
contests. When people with families travel a distance, 4-6 hours to a
contest and leave at a late hour to be getting up at 5am for work and
school for children next day makes for reason not to attend that contest
in future.  I know if a contest did that repeatedly I would stop
attending it. 
    I had to be clearheaded and awake when I reported on Monday. Peoples
lives were in the balance. Another view on it..

 Do you realize that this makes 3 straight days that we've had total
washouts at the shootout? This is because we didn't fly last year on
Sunday.
 I think that we call contests way too early. It's a shame that we didn't
at least attempt to wait till the afternoon and get in 2 flights. I've
been told that someone actually stayed and flew in the afternoon. We had
people that drove some long distances that dissevered a better attempt.
 I don't get why so many are in such a rush to go home. When did it
become a rule that we have to be done very early on Sundays also. I
remember Rough River in 1987 waiting out the rains on a Sunday and having
the award ceromony in the dusk. Bottom line is we got in a contest. This
go home early stuff is bad.
 What's to say that we couldn't have flown 2 rounds today?
 Is it getting to the point where if the weather forcasts show the
slightest possability of rain that we should just stay home?
 I love coming to contests and seeing all my friends but to be honest its
the flying that I'm there for.

Well, the D4-D5 shootout was a washout. Rained all day
today in Muncie with a high probability of the same
tomorrow. In a joint decision between D4 and D5, it
was decided to award the Ryder trophy to D5 due to
their tremendeous effort in recruiting pilots to
represent their district this year. They outnumbered
us handily, and would have probably prevailed had we
had the opportunity to fly. Congratulations and good
work!

I might add that dinner last night on the patio at the
Texas Roadhouse was another one to remember, great
friends and great food. 

The gauntlet has been thrown, it is on D4 to get the
pilots to Muncie next summer to win back the trophy.
