Me too, I got my butt wax against the D-2 folks, but it was still fun. More fun to chase than be chased.

RE: Turkey Classic Pattern Contest Niceville Fl (Panhandle Area)
 

Jamie dont worry i think D3 wax more butts than D6 overall we have the buffer

RE: Turkey Classic Pattern Contest Niceville Fl (Panhandle Area)
 

You may have, but I sure didn't pull my load last weekend, but just wait till next year :) like I said thou, better chasing, than being chased :).
Sure was lots of fun, but spent WAY to much money, compared to my normal contest venture. As a matter of fact, I spent more in diesel than my normal entire visit, including the $50 I won.
Vic, your plane flies good. I can get you spinning 9's or better, just take some time. Doug has had one of the few planes I couldn't get to spin 9 plus's

Although the weather was a little on the cool side and a little windy, I think everyone had a great time. I want to express my appreciation for Victor and his family for putting together a great contest. Victor and his family worked every aspect of the contest from management, scoring, manning the access gate, photography, trophies, and the cooking of a good meal. Victor managed the contest A to Z and deserves a good pat on the back for his efforts. My hat's off to you and your family Victor. Great job.

Victors and his Family are a one Team show, for sure. It was a blast, and 10-20 mph, just makes it more fun!!!
Thanks, Victor on a great job, and Dixie said Thanks as well for the extra meat :)

RE: Turkey Classic Pattern Contest Niceville Fl (Panhandle Area)
 

Hey Jamie, give Dixie a hug from us.  I think you gave her the wrong name though, she should be called "Shadow".  I don't think I've ever seen another dog so devoted to her master.

RE: Turkey Classic Pattern Contest Niceville Fl (Panhandle Area)
 

Good job Victor, The contest was spot on and the food was great !!! Hope we can do it again next year ..
