Brad LaPointe, our host, taken a few weeks prior to the event.

As Pat mentions, it was a bit wet at times, but the scheduled actiivites went on. We lost a bit practice and fun fly time. Still more good time than bad.

What is missing from the report is a description of the centre during the LA25 racing finals.
The rain turned what is normally a hard packed dirt/gravel surface into a very slick clay mud.
It was amazing that none of us fell over as it was a battle to keep your footing.

I watched Daniel slide 1'-2' at times pulled forward by his model.

The combat centre was similarly slick at times, but you don't spend quite as much time spinning around flying combat and you are only 2 up.
