Jason Dumke, Contest Director, Twin Cities IMAC Classic, here.
The date for this year’s TCIC has been moved up to June 13-14, but the location will remain the same.
This year’s event looks to be even bigger and better than last year’s. Andy Thomas, Contest Coordinator, and Jim Dumke, Head Scorekeeper and I have set a goal of having at least 25 participants, up from the 16 we had last year. We have at least 4 new local guys who will be participating (hopefully a few more), in addition to a larger out-of-town contingent.
We are planning on holding the Freestyle portion of the event on Saturday night, and are also pushing to have on-site camping available for the out-of-towners. Concessions will once again be available as well as the amenities offered last year.
Last year we held a drawing and all of our pilots received a prize donated by one of our event sponsors. As the event grows larger, I am not sure we will be able to award a prize to everyone, but we will sure try.
Last year the weather was great on Friday (practice day), Saturday, and Sunday. Saturday late afternoon a front came through and forced us to postpone the Freestyle portion until Sunday afternoon, but I have checked and this year the weather looks to be about perfect ;-)
One last thing: If you have never participated in an IMAC event and are even remotely interested, this is the perfect event to get your feet wet! There will be a great mix of experienced folks and relative new-comers all of whom enjoy IMAC and are willing to promote and help the rookies. There you have it-No excuse not to come and have some fun with us.
Feel free to forward this e-mail on to anyone else you think may be interested.
