<DIV>There is always an individual option! If pushed past the "drop dead" time
for me to leave Sunday, I have been known to drop out and miss the last round.
Maybe since I am rarely in contention this may not be a prime option considered
by others. But it sure beats not flying at all!</DIV>

<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><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks for setting me straight.. 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. So when you do that
math means for me I have to depart no later than 4pm Sunday for contest long
drive away.</FONT></DIV>

<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>

<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>
