Tony,

I just updated the list of participants for 2005 in IMAC SW Region events on the IMAC SW Region News Section:

http://www.mini-iac.com/EditModule.a...iew&ItemId=191

In 2005 we had 274 people participate in SW Region events. In 2004 the number was 271.

In 2005, we had 23 contests, with an average of 30.47 pilots per contest.

From my perspective we had a pretty good year in the region.

However, there is no doubt that IMAC participation in Utah is down. Why is this..... I would venture to guess that Dick's doom and gloom attitude towards IMAC on these forums is having an impact in Utah. Start looking at the many positives and promote those positives and I bet participation will increase for the Utah guys.
