I was in a motorboat chasing the fleet and the F16s were hauling butt ....... they were right in the milde of the I20 fleet.....

Posts: 185 Florida | 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 - http://myfwyc.org/G2_2009/main.php?g2_itemId=17452Write up in the Northwest FL Daily News - http://www.nwfdailynews.com/news/northwest-18492-downey-travisd.htmland more photos - http://nwfdailynews.emeraldcoastpho...amp;CategoryID=28208&ListSubAlbums=0All in all it was a great wind/weather year for the event! Accept the personal challenge and mark your calendars for next year. | | | Re: 2009 RTI
