<div> 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.</div> <div> 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.</div> <div> 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.</div> <div>--Mike<BR><BR><B><I>"Del K.

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.

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. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I had to be clearheaded and awake when I reported on Monday.

D5,proud holders of the Ryder trophy for 2006</DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV> <DIV> 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.</DIV> <DIV> 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.</DIV> <DIV> 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.</DIV> <DIV> What's to say that we couldn't have flown 2 rounds today?</DIV> <DIV> Is it getting to the
point where if the weather forcasts show the slightest possability of rain that we should just stay home?</DIV> <DIV> I love coming to contests and seeing all my friends but to be honest its the flying that I'm there for. </DIV> <DIV>---Mike<BR><BR><B><I>Bob Kane <getterflash@yahoo.com></I></B> wrote:</DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">Well, the D4-D5 shootout was a washout.
