A couple of things:

1) I feel no shame in being beaten by the likes of Bruno Vassel or
Adam Kite. They're great guys and hotshots in the cockpit, to boot.
Its been great fun getting to know them and getting to fly with them!
I'm still going to do my darndest to beat them, but we'll see where
the chips fall. :-)

2) A big public thanks to Ron for his duties as scorer. This has been
a busy contest with a lot of pilots, and many little issues that have
made scoring a challenge (weather, changes in tasks, forest-fire TFRs,
etc). Ron has handled it all, and appears to still have his sanity
intact - in spite of the crazy glider pilots like me that he has to
deal with! ;-)
