Tony!, hey bud it's Kelly. Let me backup with what you said about the temperature, man was it COLD all weekend, especially Sunday. So many pilots showed up (mostly sportsman) that the second round wasn't even completed after the first day. This meant that we all had to organize and work really hard to get the rest of the second round done so we could fly the unknowns. The unknown's were also handed out on Sunday so we all hopped in our vehicles with our limited stickplane aerobatic box trying to practice these unknowns!

The event wouldn't have been the success that it was without it's sponsors, as Tony said. Off the top of my head big thanks need to go out to Bob Shapiro for doing all he can to keep everything running smoothly and getting all of the pilots together and making this event a big step from what it was last year. Mike Stokes for donating several Futaba and Great Planes products for the pilots. Team JR for also donating several prizes. Chip Hyde for donating a few airplanes to the contest, and for helping out local Ocala native Ben by setting him up with a NIB Cap-X! I'd also like to congradulate Baron Johnson for getting the Master's invite from his 4th place finish against several pilot's that were already invited from placing top 10 in the TOC. All in all it was a great contest, accept for the cold, and I'll definetly make the 2 hour trip again next year.
