It's been said more than once that folks like to go to IMAC meets because of the relaxed atmoshere, BS'sing with friends, and laughing about zeros....

I must be doing something wrong, me and my pattern buddies are pretty relaxed, we sit around and BS, and laugh about zeros (we also laugh at the guys who take this stuff WAY too seriously )...That's why I go to contests, I'll never be a consistent winner no matter what class I fly, just can't practice enough, but I'll damn sure keep going to contests as often as possible, I enjoy competing and beign with friends that share a common interest...
