I think that is why Quiqui is a crowd favorite.....he is very good at the sticks, and is a nice guy to talk to. I think, even though I have never met him, that Don is the same. He does wonderful write ups about the events he attends, and offers lot's of help on the mailing list. Great guys.....

Andy is also a nice guy. He helped me at a local contest (pattern) and was a big part of my 2nd place finish.

Kurt is NC IMAC Vice Pres and a great guy also. He has helped me a lot over the last year with IMAC questions, and judging training.

I think it is great to see guys that I know and talk to (and fly with) competing with the likes of Quiqui and Jason. I hope that one day I can get the chance to qualify for the Masters and fly with the "PROS" as well....I think it would be a hoot....

Keep in mind, Don was winning this event until the Freestyle......

I think the Masters is the only TOC like event that we have for the time being.

I am not counting the XFC at this time because it is an invitational event, and not one that you need to qualify for.
