[NSRCA-discussion] D4 Championships and the 2008 season

[mike mueller]

 Thanks to all who hosted and participated the contest this weekend. It may very well have been the best weekend contest I've ever been to. 
 Weather, food, extremely tough competition, guys from long distances, 32 flyers who came ready to compete hard, great food, adult beverages with Bobby Satalino, casino night ( we won!!!!) on Friday and more adult beverages with Bobby, awesome night flying and pyro show. It all made for a truly unforgettable experience.
 Thanks Mark Atwood, Bob Pannell, Dave Johnstone, Ray Morton, Amy and all the others for having us.
 Funny thing happened on Saturday evening during the fireworks. I looked behind the pits and the parking area was full of cars. Seems that the locals know that the festivity's are a blast to watch and there coming in numbers.
 I was impressed with the way the flight lines flowed and we got in all 6 rounds without a hitch. It says a lot about how responsible and ready the flyers were. 
 All in all a nice way to closeout the area's contests for this year. 
 When 2008 started off I suspected it to be a down year for pattern due to a myriad of reasons and it turned out to be one of the best years. Pattern is alive and well here in the Midwest. Mike Mueller
