After day 1, Combined Std-15-18 Ken Sorenson, 944 points Steve Vihlen, 816 points Steve Leonard, 747 points Sports Tim McAllister, 964 points Curt Lewis, 902 points Duane Eisenbeiss, 793 points Day 2 was no completions, so all distance. Our scorer had to go home before everyone got things turned in. Sometimes, these things happen. Will try to get scoresheets posted today. Sorry about the delay. Steve Leonard |

Region 10 North Results
How is it going at Region 10 North? *The SSA site does not have
results from any of the days. The contest went well. We had a huge learning experience for our club. At the end of the week, we really felt as if we had reached "senior" club status. 'Bout dang time we had an official race after 6 decades of being a club!! We were plagued with thunderstorms throughout the entire week. However, our of 8 days (2 practice and 6 contest) we had cross country flying on 6 of the 8. 1 day we did not fly at all, the other day we had local flying of which Ken Sorenson almost made it around the course. I personally learned a huge amount. First lesson learned: If you land out on day 1, don't give up! Others ahead of you on the list may land out later in the contest which will balance out the scores. I made the mistake of taking my foot off the gas pedal and not going for broke after I had landed out. Second lesson learned: when participating in a local contest, prepare for extra distractions. I was driving to and from my club which is a 1 hour and 45 minute drive each day. Changing diapers in the middle of the night after flying, driving, assembling and disassembling can be highly tiresome. Third lesson learned: Learn how to read a friggin' map! Going to multiple control points on a MAT doesn't do you ANY darn bit of good!!!! Argh! Fourth lesson learned: Follow the likely looking clouds EVEN if they are over unlikely areas of terrain. Some pilots ventured out over the flat land that had been subject to massive thunderstorms and was still very very wet. They went that way because the clouds looked so good, and it paid dividends. Overall we had a grand time. Here's a video we shot from the contest, it pretty much sums it up. Hope you enjoy the music from Memphis, TN's favorite son.

Don't worry we'll have one of our club doctors give you a sick note and make you our guest of honor in an effort to twist your arm REAL hard! |
