Shannon Widmer ( Jerrys son) won 1st in Gold. I was down by 2 points due to a break out time of 1:29:38, and had the 2 pilots in front of me my last 2 races. So if I could beat them both, in each of the last 2 heats, as well as get low legal time in case of a tie, I could end up 1st. I told Tony Lopez, my caller what we needed to do. He is an unbelievable caller. Not one cut all day. My second to last heat we did just what we needed to do. Then my last heat with Shannon, we made a side bet on breaking out. We were going strong, and worked up a big enough lead to lay back and not break out. Then on the last turn I go a bit long to keep from breaking out, and Shannon turns inside of me and crosses the line a half a second in front of me, and barely above break out of 1:30. He flew a flawless race and deserved the win. His turns were at the poles, his needle was perfectly set and did it all with a stock ARF. Oh and a monster YS110. Not even using the new YS115WS. He must have been running 65-75% in that thing. It was an exciting day.
