<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Mike..</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> My heart goes out to you on your
terrible loss of a prize plane. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> 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. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I had to be clearheaded and
awake when I reported on Monday. Peoples lives were in the balance. Another view
on it.. </FONT></DIV>

Congratulations 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>

the D4-D5 shootout was a washout. Rained all day<BR>today in Muncie with a
high probability of the same<BR>tomorrow. In a joint decision between D4 and
D5, it<BR>was decided to award the Ryder trophy to D5 due to<BR>their
tremendeous effort in recruiting pilots to<BR>represent their district this
year. They outnumbered<BR>us handily, and would have probably prevailed had
we<BR>had the opportunity to fly. Congratulations and good<BR>work!<BR><BR>I
might add that dinner last night on the patio at the<BR>Texas Roadhouse was
another one to remember, great<BR>friends and great food. <BR><BR>The
gauntlet has been thrown, it is on D4 to get the<BR>pilots to Muncie next
summer to win back the trophy.<BR><BR>Bob
