Excuse me, thats 70 to 105 dollars, not 70 to 115. Heck that even leaves
you 10 bucks left over for a Big Mac, shake and fries!

Hey look at the Davenport ISR, fly for cash and the attendance seems up
every year lately, even with the risk of carnage. What, contesting for
money doesnt mean you cant enjoy flying??? Ive got around 2k in each of
my open class planes, maybe even more for some of them, flying for some
money would make my enjoyment level even greater. Paying an extra 35
dollars entry fee, thats not much more than a night out at Mcdonalds in
this day and age. I mean a whole 35.00 more for some of the larger
contests two/three times a year, wow thats a a whole extra 70-115 dollars
spread out over the course of a season of flying.

I hope no one considers this as a viable alternative. I fly in contests
for the pure enjoyment. There is no way I will pay double entry fees to
fund cash rewards for contests. Contest attendance will probably decline.

Frankly, trophies/plaques, no not the kind on your teeth, are a joke!
Dust collectors. I say forget the plaques, double the entry fee, couple
the money spent on plaques with the additional money from higher entry
fees and fly for dough. If in additon to that you feel the need for
some other type of recogniton as well, throw in some of those vellum
type paper award certificates(cheap). Id happily pay twice the entry
fee for a two day to fly for money. In fact Id be more willing to pay
double the entry fee to fly for cash than pay half that and fly for some
silly, dust collecting plaque. 100 people paying an extra 35-40 bucks
entry would give you 3500 to 4000 to split say what five to eight
ways, top five open fly for cash, top 2 res cash, winner 2m cash or
something like top 3 open cash, first place res and first place 2m cash,
paper award certificates for all the rest of the places. Higher
placings geting of course the greater dollar amounts.
I mean, even bowling leagues bowl for cash.

The longer I look at the words "plague" and "plaque" the weirder both
seem.
Webster says "plague" is a scourge and "plaque" is a trophy and,
incidentally, the only kind worth winning IMHO. The aluminum/brass
plates have other uses and the wood parts make great bases when
drilling a hole in something.

Uhhhhhhhh, are you REALLY sure you want to give the winners the
plague?
keep the main trophy the way it is but just give a small non
returning plague to the 2-5 or 2-3 spots up in front of everone @
Visalia.
