I wanted to also thank CASL for a great event! This was my nephew Perry (age 11) and my first TD contest. (Other than our small local MRCC monthly contests.) It was a rollercoaster event for me. It started off bad when eating on the way out of town on Thursday I got food poisoning. (10 hours later about an hour out of Phoenix. ) I found myself stopped on the side of the 10 freeway lying on the rocks wanting to throw up and crap my pants at the same time. Lucky for me it was 11pm and the cool air did me some good and 10 minutes later we trekked on to the hotel. I want to thank my girlfriend Jennifer for driving the last 8 hours of the trip in. The high light of the event for me was after a great first day I was 2nd place on the score sheet. Knowing it would not last I did not loose much sleep over it. I did not make any good landings the 2nd day and missed my time on the last round by 4 minutes and ended up in 61st place. Perry did quite well. My choice of plane for him was not the best and he did great with what he had. On the way back up on this rollercoaster weekend we ended up doing great on the raffle.
I just want to say thanks again for a great event. Everyone we talked with was very helpful and nice. We hope to be back next year.
