<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>John as I said at the event. I told Dave
Guerin that it was the best contest I had attended all year! The clubs
hospitality and willingness to give back to the pilots is unrivaled at any of
the contests I attended this or any other year.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Top this off with top notch awards and great Steak
and food all weekend.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As for the things not getting take care of at the
proper AMA desk, I could really care less. My point early was that the
revolutionary crowd was talking of a contest season as in many contests without
an AMA sanction. As I said before I disagree with the revolutionary
attitude.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>John, Dave, Lee, and Steve...and the others of the

given to the contest. I will be back to this one for sure!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>The sanction was not received at the appropriate desk at AMA
until the day before the contest. I believe it was returned unprocessed. I
announced this at the pilots meeting that we were unsure of the sanction
status but that we believed it to not be sanctioned. The consensus was at that
time that it was not the fault of the organizers and that we would proceed. If
it was a sanctioned contest in the records, the results are clear. If it was
sanctioned as a matter of record, the treatment is up to the decision makers.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Protest procedures are an area of the rules that need to be
"refreshed". As a frequent scorekeeper, I make the complete results at the end
of a contest known to all and expect any challenges to be made within a few
minutes. I try to keep the tear strips as orderly as possible and always make
them available on request. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>BTW, the trophy makers at AMA are on the ball. They made the
trophies in plenty of time! I guess the paper work is harder than the trophies
to handle. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>This is probably an appropriate place to note that we failed
to contain costs on this event by getting carried away with our spending.
Piedmont Models declined to allow the club to take the hit. I can assure you I
enjoyed my steak....</FONT></DIV>

championship standings for D1 this season, and I’ve received a report that
the BARKS contest, Oct 19. 2003 was not a properly sanctioned contest – and
that the results are therefore not to be considered in determining an NSRCA
District champion. . </SPAN></FONT></P>

standings. </SPAN></FONT></P>
