May Play-by-Play
by Duane Barrett, Contest Coordinator
Overview
I arrived at the field about 8:00am to find a mild wind blowing and slightly cloudy. Weatherman predicted no chance of rain. We had an awesome turn out for today. By 10:00 AM, the clouds were gone and we had a sunny skybut
the wind had picked up. In fact the wind was getting stronger, but blowing
for an imediate racing start. Competition Saturday in May was an awesome day for all. Thank you to everyone who turned out to support us this year. We had about 28 people counting all the spectators and racers.
Including 4 college guys visiting.
Weather
Sunny with about a 10 to 15 mph wind blowing the right way, so we took off for immediate racing action.

T-28 Wrap Up: Out of the fourteen (14) who signed up to race this year we had seven (9) show up today. Race coordinator choose not to fly today so we only had eight airplanes, two sections of four each. We flew today without pylon judges on the honor system and the CD's calls. Also No streamers as it was very windy. Back to having fun flying again. I believe that everyone had a good day today. Good turn out and thanks everyone for your support.
