TOC 2000, Final Results

Sunday, October 22nd, 7:00 p.m.

Congratulations to Christophe Paysant-Le Roux, winner of the 17th International Tournament of Champions! For several years he has been oh so close, but this was his year. Congratulations to all of the finalist's for giving us a tight battle right to the very end. The finals were flown in less than ideal conditions (cold and windy, with an occasional rain drop), but they made it look easy.

Congratulations also to Desert Aircraft, with our DA-150 finishing One, Two, Three! DA-150s were in 17 of 21 aircraft flown at TOC 2000.

More photos will be posted later...

Sunday, October 22nd, 1:00 p.m.

The scores for the first Unknown and Known are posted above. This is all we get to see before the awards presentation later this afternoon. The low score of each Unknown, Known and Free will be tossed out.

It is COLD and windy here. In spite of the conditions the flights have been solid. Lots of wind correcting, but still really smooth--as we'd expect at this level.

More later when we have the final results from TOC 2000.

Sunday, October 22nd, 8:45 a.m.

We're flying! The wind is still up, about 10-15 mph, but its not raining and doesn't look like it will...at least not soon.

Wind correction is the word of the day. Most lines include about a 15 to 20 degree crab angle, not pretty but it keeps them in the box.

More later when we have scores.
