Mark,
To slide or not to slide was by far the single biggest issue we had to deal with in designing the Unlimited sequence for next year. The board informally polled some Unlimited pilots, your responses to this forum was included, and our top nationally recognized judges. The split was about 50/50, so no matter our decision, 1/2 would not be happy with us. Definitely a bum deal for us, but that's why we get paid the big bucks . The board ended up taking a vote, and the results were, 5 in favor and 3 against the slide. We changed the last few figures a little, so now the Tail Slide is the last figure, its downwind and plane Jane, nothing up, nothing down.
The final OFFICIAL IMAC 2004 SEQUENCES will be posted on the IMAC web site tonight. You will see some changes that were made do to a great deal of feedback from our membership, thank you everyone.
