Sometimes it's been known to rain at the Dallas Meets and we've been plagued with swamp-like conditions. Contestants have had their lines strung out in mud and even under water. Yuch! Ankle deep in some places. People gripe a lot but not much is ever done. But now, with Prez. Don Hutchinson, Dave Ek, and others in touch with Ken Beam at the Park Service, things are a'changin'. First the circles were re- surfaced with asphalt and for the last two Fridays we've had the benefit of a grader and many loads of fill dirt. Dave is a whiz with his Dave Brown level and shoots the grades whilst Don holds the measuring rod. Looks a little rough at the present, but has been reseeded and a lttle rain will fix it right up. A lot of rain will tell us if it worked- hopefully water will go where we've pointed it. Make plans for the June Dallas Aero Summer Heat (DASH) Contest and enjoy good times, good food, and a good raffle and auction- lots of good stuff- kits, motors,supplies, etc. Best regards,

Also, I failed to mention that the trophies will be topnotch. This year CD Phillip Nickles is going full out- it's going to be a good'un!

Hey folks, This is one great contest. Lots of fun, well run and quite a few of the "legends of the game" usually attend. Dallas has a contest about once a month but the June and September Contests are special. They are always noted on my calendar. Hats off to the DMAA.

Actually, we have contests every night we fly. For example, a few trophy catagories are:

1. Beat Bob's piped engine run. Bob G. is undeafeated.
2. Fly better than Doug.
3. Slowest lap time. (Reigning champion Doug Moon).
4. Best 4 stroke run (no comment)
5. Most fuel burned to get through the pattern.
6. Who gets called an "idiot!" by Steve Moon first.

That is AWESOME!

I cant stop laughing at the very last one!!!

On a side note. I cant fit the 10oz tank in my plane. The 9" Nose moment wont let me squeeze it in there. Now if the plane were wider there would be no problem. 8oz just doesnt seem to make it through. I need just an 1/8 oz more. I guess I could install drop tanks like Mike Scott suggested.

Is this dominated by one individual?
