It was HOT, held at Hays Kennedy Park this past weekend of June 24,25,26. RES and ALES Friday then two days of Unlimited Mixed Launch TD. Awards included a Louisville Slugger engraved bat for the Over-all TD Champion and the famous and unique Louisville Slugger Home Plate award for the top landing two day scores.
Jerry Shape earned the Bat for the third year in a row
Tulsa visitor D.O. Darnell took the Home Plate home flying an E-launch ship.
Norm Potti took RES
I won ALES
The club members really stepped it up a notch to get the contest set up and run and packed up. Steve and Kathy Gammons really went above and beyond learning the scoring program, setting up the scoring tent, etc and doing all the work, plus creating the winners’ trophies!
Their son kept the event going by organizing the line retrieval system, then drove the cart and trained Wisdom, our other helper.
John took an amazing amount of great photos and worked his tail off from start to finish. Click on DerbySoar2016 to reach the link to all his photos.
Ron Allen had cataract surgery but came out to do what he could almost straight from the hospital!
Shaun stopped by to see if he was needed both days.
AJ from Bluegrass Soaring came through to help as needed as well as supplying a turnaround.
Will we do it again next year? YES!
