Frank lands it well. And we did get it done here. Now we go see what the tabulators are cooking up. I am sorry I could not get over to cover Advanced. They've been done a while and we'll go see if their board is complete. Stand by...

And here is the Advanced board. Congrats to Richard Huff!

Pay your bets at the window and lay 'em down for tomorrow.

There is a new twist I was just made aware of for tomorrow. Heavy rain until 2:00 PM. Quite a few including myself will head for home in the morning if that plays out since we had no plans to stay another night. Looks like they might have trouble wanting to do the judges warm up. In any event we wish everyone well, good luck and a safe trip home and I'm sure someone will give the final results.

David F. showed amazing consistency. Having seen Hiki fly (at VSC), it's no surprise that he finished well (6th). I must assume that he has stopped flying his bottoms at 2.5'?

All that aside, PW often seems to fly just badly enough in the early rounds to give others false hope...before he squashes them like bugs. I've seen that many times at local contests. Thanks for your reporting, Mr. Trible!

The reports on Muncie weather make a good case for moving the Nats to CA.

If so, then we Left Coasters will be able to compete. Until then, good luck in IN.

I know it looks bleak now, but the Jive Combat Team will be back next year.

How did Banjock make out?

Thanks for all the reports so far. Now for those heading home watch the weather and drive safely. But, I'm at home so you don't have to watch out for me. Again Dave another year and hopefully the weather will co-operate for getting practice next year.

He flew his stiletto as best he could but came up short in qualifying and ended up 6th on his circle

Uhhhh.....
Looks to me like a couple of the left coasters competed just fine...my bet's on one of them to win. Most likely Mr. Walker is not through making monkey's out of everybody yet! He is obviously The MAN of all time in STUNT!

Surprising!

I judged him at Brodak's and he was doing extremely well with the Raven.

Bob, the Raven had a bad day during a practice flight about a week and a half ago.

We just need to charter a Stunt Bus to take us there and back.

Bruce Shipp · « **Reply #269 on:** July 22, 2017, 02:59:56 PM »

Update? Live scoring shows two left to fly...

Dave_Trible · « **Reply #270 on:** July 22, 2017, 03:07:05 PM »

WHAAAT?

I get all the way back to 101 degree KC and no winner yet?

(Derek told me he'd let us know)

Can somebody post a pic of the scoreboard for the top 5 fly-off and the JR. & SR. and Walker Cup? Much appreciated.

Joe Yau · « **Reply #272 on:** July 22, 2017, 03:22:58 PM »

Here's the top 5 fly-off..

Sorry.. having some technical issue with the site.

Chris_Rud · « **Reply #273 on:** July 22, 2017, 03:25:01 PM »

Here you go. Less then 16 points separating 1st and 5th. It was a real shootout!

Dave_Trible · « **Reply #274 on:** July 22, 2017, 05:12:55 PM »

Congratulations to David!! Really to all. Just getting to the top five makes you all Champions. This is hard, very hard work. Derek- almost 'the ONE'....

Hey Joe;
There was a post on the Penton Owner's Group (a motorcycle group) about this photo hosting issue the other day. Lots of guys used PhotoBucket (I think) to host the photos that they posted on the forum there, and now they (Photbucket) are no longer offering free services and you must pay to use the site. There is one whole hell of a lot of really useful photos that are going to be lost. From the image I see in this thread, it looks the same as what is showing up on the POG list, so that may be your problem and not the SH site.
Type at you later,
Dan McEntee
