The D.A.R.T.S. contest had 18-19 contestants per day. Not enough for a Level V contest, either day. 8-) Its a shame that local support for this fine seeded Man On Man contest is waning. The Darts have been doing this contest for years. Day one was hosted by CD Bob Massmann with 8 minute tasks all day, Winds gusting to 20 mph from the south, most of the day kept your game tight. Thermals, if any, were tight and fast. Most tried sloping on the tree lines, Paul Siegle has left his Zenith in the top of one of the biggest trees. The S.O.A.R. was well represented by Jim Bacus, Tom Kallevang, and Jack Strother 1st - Jack Strother 2nd - Don Harris 3rd -Tom Kallevang ( I think) 4th - Jim Bacus 5th - I forgot.
Day 2 was hosted by CD Jerry Shape, who was inspired by his attendance to the Chicago Fred eariler this year. started the day off with a 10 minute task, three 13 minute tasks and another 10 minute task to finish up. The winds were WSW and variable. total overcast day with storms looming to the south and east. A very interesting day, where you had better know your machine. A true test as to wether, its the plane, the pilot or the radio that wind the contest. I watched guys circle in light thermals that may have got them 50 feet in 4 minutes...maybe...and that may have been the best lift all day. Very few got the 13 minute target time. but, a few, a very few did get away. A really good contest day, with no gimmies.!! 1st - Jim Bacus 2nd - 3rd - 4th - 5th - I am sorry I do not remember the rest of the places, so rather than guess, I am sure that the results will be posted soon, but TK is in there around 2nd or 3rd. Me, well I flew a good contest, but not good enough. 8-( This was also an OVSS contest, whi\ch I am sure has been shaken up a little . Karl ( I am off my game) Miller, spent the day recovering from pop-offs. Next weekend will be the 2-day in Lexington, KY. 3 classes both days . see you all there.
