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.<BR><BR><B><I>"Del K.

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.

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.
