Brian/Will finished at 5:30 and corrected 1st on the CFR 20. Bill W placed 2nd on H-17 w/reacher. Kevin Smith 3rd on H20 W/The Green Monster Spin. Mark Smith/DJ on N20 in 4th, followed closely by Chris/Renee on a Blade F16.
Chris had that Blade tuned perfectly for the conditions and nailed several key windlines to walk past several 18's & 20's on the upwind run in the Gulf. I could go on and on about how this was just right for the F16 v others, but no need. He just had a great day and they rose to the occasion! Well done C-R!!!! Downwind in the sound the 20's got past him, but not far enough to beat that awsome upwind performance.
6-10 places were Wilson, Beach, MacDonald on N-20's, Oly and Joana on a Blade, then Craig/Glenn on an N-20. Craig dubbed his new ride Hoofarted II and had a good upwind ride in the gulf, but had equipment problems after a quick flip on the first spin run in the Sound.
Link to some photos, results should be up soon -
