All:
Called Dawn at Midway and all of the $63 rooms at America's Best Value Inn in Manor TX are gone. Best the property can do is $80. I am going to look around and see what else is available.

maybe this will help. Take 290 towards austin and then use the map from the website.

On 290, once you cross the toll rd (130) go the the next light, FM 3177, turn left, then go to RR tracks, turn left, gate is about 100 yards on the right.

The event is over and all we have now is memories. Some good, some not so good.

Thanks to all that attended and hope all had a good time. I know no one went home hungry.

Awards were voted on by the pilots

Best of Show - Vernon Montgomery Hawk
Top Gun - Kevin Whitlow Many, many flights with his BobCat with the Nerf bomb drops
Pilots Choice - Greg Moore
Spectator Choice (a.k.a.) The Governors CHoice went to one smokin' Boomerang. That was the Governor of Texas, Rick Perry's favorite. He watched to jet rally from the gun club next door.

Found at field this morning, a JR 10X transmitter case.
