It was a GREAT contest, but hotter than H--L on Saturday. In fact, I was judging Sportsman, the largest class, during the last round on Saturday, and by the time we were thru, I looked around, and everyone was gone! Everyone had headed back to the hotel for air conditioning and a cool shower. Sunday was much cooler.

After having been out of the hobby for 30 years until last year, SPA reminds me of the "old days" of pattern; competitive, but laid back. Great bunch of people!
