This (below) is written with a BARKS newsletter slant. Nonetheless I thought I
would share it with the D8 list and my friend Mike in Chicago. We (BARKS) thank
you all for your time and support. I still can't believe you all came to Boise.
Thank you so much. Mike Riggs<br>

color:black'>The “Treasure Valley Pattern Contest” quietly began with NSRCA
District VIII members arriving Friday to coach new pattern fliers in the art of
flying the AMA Sportsman pattern sequence. It was great to see so many people
using the BARKS facilities on a beautiful Friday afternoon. As day wore into
evening other District VIII members arrived from far away northwest places.</span></font><font

color:black'>Saturday morning contestants where greeted with moderately strong
cool winds from the north and a very bright sun in the right – eastern – corner
of “The Box”. Everybody mulled around munching “Finney” donuts as the
temperature rose and the sun rotated out of “The Box”. Visiting Contest
Director (CD) Rex Lesher called a pilots meeting explaining the task at hand.
Shortly afterward, the wheels of Mike Riggs Sword left the ground marking the
beginning of round one.</span></font><font color=black><span style='color:black;

color:black'>Nathan Wingert, Robert Sox, Jerry Kent and Mike Riggs battled the
sportsman pattern more than each other for five rounds Saturday. Shaking their
heads the entire time about the difficulty of performing seemingly easy
maneuvers on a straight line, parallel to the runway, under the watchful eye of
D8 judges. Jerry flew his retract equipped Sky Tiger to a speedy fourth place.
Robert Sox epitomized the pattern fledgling, flying his Avistar to third place.
Mike bounced his electrified Sword around the box to second place. Topping
everybody, Nathan sucked up the gear on his Killer Chaos and flew to a lean
mean first place finish.</span></font><font color=black><span style='color:
