There's no secret to keep here guys! Mike and I had an unfortunate midair, for sure. I have an airplane that should be ready within a couple weeks. This is a setback, but certainly not the first one I've ever encountered. Thanks to the hard work of some great friends I'll only be missing out on about a week of practice with an airplane I wasn't going to take to South Africa anyways. I feel worse for Mike, who lost his primary airplane!

In any case, thanks to everyone for a great contest. This was my first D3 contest. I had a great time, met a lot of great people, and am looking forward to many more in the future.

In addition I'll echo Jasons gratitude for everyone's support of the team. Without you all we wouldn't be able to go anywhere.

P.S. - and oh yeah, I forgot to thank A.C. for giving me some serious motivation to practice!
