<DIV> I'm proud to say that the Ryder trophy is looking mighty fine sitting on the mantle in my house. She's a real beauty. Also thanks to all the D4 guys, you are the best!</DIV>
<DIV> This contest has evolved into a very important event in the midwest and the winning district as well as the individual competitors should feel a great sense of accomplishment. The level of competition is very high. </DIV>
<DIV> Thanks to all the competitors and workers for making this contest such a great success.</DIV>
<DIV> Also thanks to the AMA for allowing us to use the national flying site. For those of you that have never seen this facility you are missing something very special.</DIV>
<DIV> Now if we get anymore flyers in the future we may have tyo use a second site to get in our rounds. </DIV>
<DIV> Thanks, Mike Mueller</DIV>

<DIV>I humbly extend congratulations to all the D5 pilots who whipped our behinds this year and are now in posession of the coveted Ryder Trophy. A tear is welling up as I stare at the empty spot on my mantle. </DIV>

<DIV>39 pilots showed up at the D4-D5 Shootout to do battle for the trophy. Thanks to Tom Weedon, Bill Greg, Frank Delgiudice, & Larry Auer for running a tight contest and getting as many rounds as we did in spite of the weather. Congrats also to ALL the pilots for handling the weather conditions without a sigle mishap. A full report and photos will be in the K-Factor.</DIV>
