Houston Area 402 Pattern Shootout/Grudge Match was fantastic...The weather
was beautiful - low 70's, Low humidity. Wind blowing in at about 5-10
MPH.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=758575613-08112004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>We had
a really fun group of compettors and everyone seemed to have a good time.
No-one had any equipment problems, etc...so it was truly a test of flying skills
among the some great competitors.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=758575613-08112004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>We
flew the four rounds in similar fashion to any other Pattern meet and dropped
the lowest round for each competitor. The fourth round was a really nice
unknown sequence that Don Ramsey created for us. Flying an unknown
sequence was a little scary, but in the end it was an exciting challenge
for everyone and they seemed to enjoy it.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
