C.D.'s Report: The Charles Ash Memorial,
Southwestern Regional Championship, 2006
First off, I would like to thank so many people who helped, from the
Runners, the Tabulators, Pit Bosses, Judges, Pull Testers, Circle
Marshals, EDs and Assistant CD, Mike Greb. Not to mention all the
ladies who provided all the food. That has become a regular thing for
our ladies and we thank them. Believe me, they do a whole lot more at
the contest than I do. Being a first time CD does not go without a few
mishaps. I thank everyone for their patience and coming to me or the EDs
to work out the problems. Issues always pop up, but as a group, I have
found out there is not much we cannot work out. Secondly, I want to
thank all the contestants who showed up to make this contest a success.
Now on to the Models.
Saturday's Report-----
In Old Time, you just can't beat a Ringmaster for being 1st. Dee Rice did
a great job flying and building his model. His "Brotherhood of the Ring"
is revitalizing this design. Classic brought out some really nice models.
Joe Bowman finished a well deserved first and received the pilots' choice
award for the prettiest plane, should I say that, pretty? Joe's plane
is a well finished Roadrunner, co-designed by Jim Young and the late Bill
Melton. Jim even came out to watch it fly on Saturday.
Racing is so much fun to watch. Mike Greb did a great job of keeping
everyone moving along. One of the best races of the meet was between
Russ Green and Bill Lee, they finished in that order, less than one
second apart.
Balloon Bust is just "plane" fun, we had three juniors enter and that was
fun to watch also. Thanks to Emile Imberman and David Russum for EDing
the Balloon Bust, I think we had around 15 entries. The added points
for inverted balloon busting brought out the best in the ex-combat flyers.
Sunday brings all the big guys in our area for the Stunt events,
even guys who haven't entered for 26 years! Thanks to Al Rabe for
participating. We have guys show up from all over District 8, Houston,
Arkansas, Kansas, Oklahoma and the list goes on even more. We even had
the Jr. National Champion, Ryan Young, put in a few flights and take
1st in Intermediate PA.
Carrier went off really well. Bill Bischoff came back out after missing
awhile and was able to take home some hardware, although suffering a cut
finger, a one Band-Aider. Phil Dunlap was the tried and true center judge.
That is it, and I really did not mean to leave out anyone or event.
Thanks again for the help, Myself and Mike Greb really appreciate it.
