Hi guys, I'm trying to send this from a Palm, so bear with me. Jerry Craft did upload the results live, but in text to the F3F newsgroup on Yahoo!
It is now Monday morning and we are all so sunburnt that we can't type well enough to post final results. Suffice to say that we had a good weekend, flew 15 rounds (I think), and picked a good team. Sadly, two the top contenders, Charlie MacMurray and Joe Wurts were unable to attend the last day and suffered a loss in standings. Attached is what Jerry posted to the F3F group on Friday. I don't have final results available yet, but Jerry will publish them soon. We had great wind on Friday, posted a new Banos F3F record at 36.something seconds (Joe Wurts), and several other sub-40's. Saturday was light and hot, but we completed rounds 8 through 11. Sunday started light, then had a MASSIVE wind shift that happened unbeliebably fast. We headed to a different slope that was already measured and set up and started a new round less than 20 minutes after the decision to move was made. Pretty impressive hustling guys! The wind was impressive too. When asked about ballast by someone, Brian Buass was overheard to respond, "Put in everything you got, then tape on a wrench." The new slope generated mid 40's and we finished the day there. >From a faded memory, the standings are (this is NOT offical): 1. Tim Cone 2. Tom Copp 3. Brian Buass 4. David Reece 5. Doug Reel 6. Barry Baskin 7. Gary Legerton 8. Steve Galle 9. ? 10. ? 11. Bob Bingham 12. Joe Wurts Cheers, Nathan Woods President, ASRO ---------------------------- >From Friday's Results: Great day one at the USA F3F VRQ.
