Hi Guys<BR>
<BR>
OK, the deadline (Wednesday Sept 3) has come and gone and I have only 12 responses (and that's counting myself). I really don't want to cancel this so I'm going to assume that you guys really want a contest and have just not responded!! I'm going to extend the deadline for response to Wednesday 9 Sept. Hope to hear from you, if not, I tried.<BR>
<BR>
Thanks<BR>
<BR>

If you guys want a contest you need to respond so I know.. If you are sitting back and thinking everyone else will respond so I don't have to commit, it aint happening. I really hate to see the contest canceled, but I can't shut the field down for 11 guys. If you respond I will hold it (as compared to if you build it/hold it they will come) </BLOCKQUOTE><BR>

Hi guys, we are at 10 and counting, need 24 or more to hold this. <BR>

Hi guys<BR>
<BR>
The Morgan Hill contest date is coming up (Nov 1 &2). This is a great field, big pit, big runway, etc Now for the bad news, we still have the over flight problem on the left box. The reality is that if you are in the box you are golden, but if you push out of the box you will be over the RED zone to the left. This is a situation that, as CD, I have no control over and I will enforce the left box ruthlessly. <BR>
<BR>
That said I'm convinced we can hold the contest and have a rippin' good time, we held the district championships there, last year, under the same "over flight conditions" and there was no issue with the box/overflight, no complaints, so it can and has worked. So here's the deal, those of you who are planning to attend need to contact me, ASAP, if I get 24 or more potential attendees I will hold the contest, as planned. I need to make a decision by Wednesday, 3 Sept. I'm looking forward to the contest, but this is a busy field, with 400 members so I don't want to shut it down for a low turn out, so put it on your calendar and let's go fly some airplanes :-)<BR>
