Generally nice weekend, wasn’t it? Some decent wind, comfortable temperatures, well-run races by the Santana 20 bunch, and the best dinner so far this far, led by Peter Burgard.

All performed without hitch. Nice winds on Saturday and a repeat on Sunday morning until the wind died around 11 am.
Thank you to you all.
We wish Amanda Woodcock a speedy recovery and the same to Dave Cummings who underwent surgery after he experimented doing Evel Knievel type stunts.
For those of you who were under the weather and could not make it. Get well soon.
Hope to see you at Lake Pleasant on the 19th and 20th of this month, the last weekend of the fall series.
