Dang, what a weekend! We had 40 pilots participate in the various events and NOONE had the invitational in the bag. There were the known veterans coming in to this invitational, but there were MANY "cinderella" pilots (those unknown pilots that takes the experienced pilots by surprise) that came in and kept the veterans busy and therefore the competition was truely up for grabs.
