Amateur Cobalt 12

- Tech opens at 9AM

I want to thank Shontel for doing such a great job posting results and pics.

I don't know if anyone else is there who has the time or is willing to step up and share the race results online while Shontel is home.

I guess Chase is already home (hey Chase - the Nats is at your home track!) but probably has school to attend (unlike us old geezers).

I hope that the race directors can at least run an extra print of the final race results, or maybe someone can phone the results to me and I can post them... although it would have to be just the finals - as I'm pretty busy running the store here at home base.

Anyone who complains about any lack of coverage this week - is most welcome to buy a plane ticket and take their laptop & camera to the Nats and post results & pics!

Taking applications.... the hours are long and the pay sucks!

Pay my airfare and I will gladly post results and photographs until the cows come home

Zip, you know damn well there is not a plane flown today that can fit your ego in it. . .

. . . and I am curious, if it could fit

what would a ticket cost from NZ to the states?

I'm thinking Raffle for sure Mom...

I think you should recheck the TQ time. Last I checked a 1.0 isnt even possible yet for opens.
