Friday, October 9th, 11:30 p.m.

The qualifying rounds of TOC '98 are complete, with only the top 14 pilot advancing to fly Saturday. Only the names were available to us this evening. We'll post their final qualifying scores tomorrow.
Jason Shulman and Warren Thomas both suffered dead sticks during this mornings unknown round, tho it didn't really impact their final standings. Rick Byrd was able to continue today, flying Mike McConville's second backup plane (owned by Bob Santos). You'll recall Rick lost his only remaining airplane during yesterday's Freesyle.
We didn't loose any aircraft today, although Frazer Briggs landed hot with a high idle and tore the gear off of his 260. He should be able to repair it overnight without too much difficulty.
Patty Wagstaff made her first appearance today as part of the noon-time airshow. Patty will also fly Saturday and Sunday, at noon, and is expected to appear in person at the field Saturday afternoon.
Next update will be mid-morning Saturday. We will have both of Saturday's unknowns posted then.
