Did any of you who attended the Golden State Stunt Championships at Clovis happen to find my power tote? Here's a picture.

Thanks again to Bill, Jerry, Doug and all the other folks who helped make this such a fine contest.

Derek,

Check with Doug Barton we did find one that looks like the one pictured when we were cleaning up.

Derek,

Hope you get the tote back and then bring it with you to 2005 NW Regionals.

On your way home it will quite likely come to you why we in the Pacific NW do not place electrical switches on the tops of our pit boxes.

Thank you Phil! I was not looking forward to building another one. I'll contact Doug.
Dan, I understand the *special* considerations when flying in the PNW. Here in Southern California, if it's raining (like today) we don't even go outside. Actually, after the Northwest Regionals, the drizzle and breeze in Clovis was no prob. I consider that experience part of my training.
The primary design goal for the power tote was to put a power panel and a 5.5 Ah battery in the most compact package. If I had put the panel on the side, it would have been much more prone to damage. I'll make a little acrylic salad bar roof for the 2005 Regionals- or maybe a "shower" cap. . .

I was at this Contest in 1999 I forgot mt box on the field saturday afternoon. I went back to the field Sunday morning to find it right where I left it . It had most of my stuff in it. Including $400.00 in the bottom.
