<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Terry is correct. The CD guidelines are very clear

<DIV>Ask John about what he was thinking re. the Sunday late comer
possibility. I don't know.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Anyway, I think the CD does have this type of discretion. There's a
point at which you are putting contestants who did show up on the advertised
start date and time in position where they would have to incur the additional
time and expense of the 2nd day for no useful purpose from their point of
view. We got 5 rounds in without breaking a sweat. That's a
complete contest. I think he made a good decision and he also discussed it
with us first.</DIV>

<DIV>When John made that decision did he consider that there may be a flyer
who could only make it Sunday?? At one point that option was one I
considered. I had a birthday party for my 3 year old grandson in CT, and I
gave consideration to coming home Sunday by way of the contest. Needless to
say, I would have been really P*****d if I had gotten there just to find out
that it had been turned into a one day affair. That is NOT following AMA
guidelines for a contest adminstration. The CD MUST adhear to the advertised
event schedule.</DIV>

<DIV>This was actually scheduled as a 2 day contest. Due to the low
attendance, John Tarpinian elected to make it a one day contest, which
worked out quite well.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Anyway, I agree with George's assessment. It's a really nice
field with some minor runway obstacles to keep in mind, but for all
practical purposes, they don't exist due to the CD instructions on how
landings are to be scored (anywhere on a very long runway is a 10).
We had a great time flying, the hospitality from the club was great and
overall, it was an event I will want to return to. </DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi George..</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> When/if I can get back
to competing that is a long way to go for a one day event knowing how
fickle the weather in the N.E. can be. I have never attended a 1
day event in all my years of competing. If they were close by that might
make it viable.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>For all the guys in D1 that missed the
Hadley contest on Saturday I want to express my disappointment at the
absence of your presence at what was a terrific time.Ed Alt was the
only guy that showed up from the N.J. contingent and was a great help
as judge, caller, and certainly the premiere performer of the day with
really notable performances from Scott Smith with his new electric
Patriot with the Hacker 60 up front. I felt that everyone flew well
and would have loved to have had more representation in each
class. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Due to the East facing flightline we
didn't get started as early as I would have liked, but that was
probably a blessing in disguise as we probably would have had a 10
round contest.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As it was, the contest was a very
laid-back affair with wonderful temperatures and partly sunny skies, a
little breezy in the P.M., but handled easily by everyone in
attendance. Lots of lazy kibitzing under the easy-ups all
day.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The field was freshly mowed and well
prepped for even the lowest of prop clearances ( Walter Erickson had
about 3/4"). </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>One of the enticing features of this
event were the high dollar prizes awarded the winners. Jim Quinn was
overheard celebrating his $6K award for his high placement in
Master's.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In spite of my personal ban ( apparently
the word had not gotten out) I was allowed to judge 5 rounds in all
classes which was very refreshing after all these years. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The kindness extended to me was very much
appreciated as they allowed me to fly a class that I was totally
unqualified for in spite of the fact that I came in dead last (in a
field of one).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Great food was in abundance both lunch
and dinner and it was gratus. Nobody went home hungry. John
Tarpinian(C.D.) did an admirable job of putting together a first rate
event and even had a hat-draw raffle at the end where everyone went
home with something of value (that's in addition to those high dollar
placement awards).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In attendance was the "New Kid" in D1
competition, David Lampron, who took first in Sportsman and at 13
years of age is going to be one to watch in the next couple of years.
David has a younger brother, Dean, who I predict will follow in his
brother's footsteps. These 2 kids are the nicest young guys,
respectful and polite to a fault. David served as a maneuver caller
for the judges on many rounds and a little sister, Kelly worked
on the scoring program ( not as a runner, but the real thing), she
must have been about 9 or 10.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The field is a little tight on one end
and will make you pay attention on your landings, but the overall
surroundings are a very pleasant farmland paradise. For the guys
that passed this one up this year, you really missed a great time.Be
sure and put a big star beside this one on next year's calendar.You'll
be glad you did.</FONT></DIV>
