However, I am going to have to go along with Tony on this one - the Dist Champs has always been a special event for me and one I have not missed in a long time. But I think the point of it is as stated - a Dist Championship. Now I'm not against any other activity to bring in fun and variety to the event, but if it means losing a round (and we all know that the weather is never predictable enough to count on), then I say we forgo the extracurricular activities in lieu of completing a full 6 round contest. ( besides it is going to take me at least 6 rounds to ever have a chance of beating Carter). And as far as the unknowns go - again I have to agree with Tony - fine for FAI - that is part of their program anyway, but to introduce it at the Championships for Masters is not the right venue. Maybe at one of the other contests would be better - there is already enough additional pressure at the Championships. So bring on the helicopter - GBees - whatever, just give me my full contest. Of course, what do I know!!</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Bill Wallace</span></b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'> <br></span><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Commercial Sales Manager</span></b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'> <br></span><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Bridgestone Commercial Solutions<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>4000 E.
