Lance,
I certainly appreciate the recent growth in the SW with the addition of
the El Paso contest. However, I still remeber when there were at least 5
contests in Colorado, two or three in Kansas and two in New Mexico.
There was also a contest in Montana(Billings) and Casper in Wyoming.
Those days appear to be long gone and the few remaining contests
struggle to come up with 17 contestants. I believe the sole remaining
contest in Colorado had 11 contestants.
BTW, the Roadrunner contest in Albuquerque will be putting on its 24th
edition next summer.
Sorry you couldn't make it to Lubbock. Ed put on a great contest.
