would be tough to do with a local contest…Honestly I wouldn’t want 3
flight lines going anyway a month before the NATS….All 3 would over-fly
each other, and the middle flight line gets it from both ends…running
multiple sites means you are running guys back and forth between the
sites, and you’d have to do assigned frequencies, which for guys going to
the NATS, its not an issue, for guys that aren’t, then it could be.
I like the idea of especially at that contest, starting Friday
afternoon..maybe even something to consider for ComAir as well. Both
have HUGE turnouts and this would get in 6 rounds easily.

less<BR>> obvious situations, a! nd the general “let’s get

weather…we get the same issue at the district<BR>> championship
regarding flying a 6th round. With 40+<BR>> contestants, and 2
flight lines, with an average of<BR>> 9 minutes per pilot, it takes
3 hours per round. <BR>> With GREAT weather… that’s 9 hours of
flying both<BR>> days with no breaks. We get the sun in the box
at<BR>> 4:30 – 5pm…so even with a militaristic 8:30am
start,<BR>> and rigid attention to flight lines (Everyone does
a<BR>> great job at this I must add) we’re pressed to<BR>>
finish anything more than 3 rounds on Saturday… <BR>> We could also
fly 3 rounds on Sunday…but we’d likely<BR>> not finish until 4pm or
so. That seems to be<BR>> unacceptable to most anymore. I realize
that many<BR>> come from a great distance for this event (we
like<BR>> to think it’s all about the steak roast and night<BR>>

round in hopes<BR>> o! f pulling out a win, and maybe a
district<BR>> championship.<BR>> <BR>> I know I’ve left
before some contests have ended<BR>> because of other commitments.
That’s my choice, and<BR>> if I have to sacrifice a round…then
that’s my<BR>> choice. Bob Kane often chooses to sacrifice
the<BR>> first round of Sunday flying to attend church… I<BR>>
guess my point is maybe Mike’s right…and we have to<BR>> weight the
“Contest” as a whole more heavily… and<BR>> do our very best to
complete them. The pilot<BR>> “vote” has value, but let’s face
it…there’s a lot of<BR>> peer pressure from those who’s current
standings<BR>> won’t change, or maybe even those that will, but
who<BR>> are in the better position at present…to call it a<BR>>
day.<BR>> <BR>> Let’s face it…MOST of the time, we’re able

Congratulations<BR>> D5,proud holders of the Ryder trophy for
2006<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> My initial take is that I agree with
Verne if a<BR>> mistake was made, we own it. I was there when
the<BR>> vote was made. If someone had thoughts to continue<BR>>
the contest it could have been brought up. Many<BR>> people were
there earlier and had left the field for<BR>> one reason or another
(not necessarily to go home,<BR>> but to kill time). <BR>>
<BR>> Looking back, I think that there is room for<BR>>
improvement. Perhaps the best thing to do was for<BR>> the CD! ’s
to be at the field at the correct time for<BR>> starting the
contest no matter what the conditions<BR>> are, and not let anyone
leave for any reason if<BR>> there is a cancellation concern. This
way they can<BR>> work to keep all pilots in the area so a debate
can<BR>> be heard. A decision could then be made to allow<BR>>
folks to check out of there hotel room and meet back<BR>> at the
field to see if any flying could be done.<BR>> This would allow
everyone the flexibility to check<BR>> back in a hotel if we hold
the contest without the<BR>> risk of any unnecessary loss of money
by not<BR>> checking out.<BR>> <BR>> “People needing to leave
early on Sunday”, is not<BR>> a good argument to cancel a contest
if the rain is<BR>> bad on Saturday… If you can get a contest
in<BR>> regardless of the time on Sunday’s end, provided
the<BR>> majority of folks want it, then that is what
should<BR>> be done. My point is that everyb! ody knows their
own<BR>> situation. For those who took the time and made
the<BR>> commitment to stick it out, they deserve to have a<BR>>
full contest benefit even if it’s a couple of rounds<BR>> to make a
contest.<BR>> <BR>> I’m on the fence with regards to the
<st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City
w:st="on">Muncie</st1:City></st1:place><BR>> cancellation. I would
have been ok with either call.<BR>> If a cancellation is immanent,
the sooner it’s<BR>> called the better. It’s always easier to
second<BR>> guess the decision after the fact knowing how
it<BR>> turned out. I wonder how many people would be
ticked<BR>> if the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City
w:st="on">Muncie</st1:City></st1:place> contest wasn’t cancelled and
we<BR>> couldn’t get any rounds in due to rain on Sunday<BR>>
also? Lisa and I stayed in the area. There wouldn’t<BR>> have been
enough time to get a complete round in on<BR>> Saturday for all
classes. I don’t know about Sunday.<BR>> <BR>> Larry<BR>>

think Tom<BR>> and Frank did the right thing calling the
contest<BR>> and let everyone salvage there weekend.<BR>> As for
staying late on Sunday to finish or start a<BR>> contest, I work
third shift and have to be at work<BR>> at midnight Sunday. That
means if I get started to a<BR>> contest at 7am and awards are
given around 7pm and I<BR>> have a 2 to 3 hour drive, it doesn! ’t
leave much<BR>> family and rest time before work. Taking
Monday’s<BR>> off for may be OK for some but others like me
get<BR>> paid for being there, if I don’t work I lose a
days<BR>> pay. No pay equals upset family and no hobby
funds.<BR>> Dowayne<BR>> <BR>> <BR>>
