2009 AmCup Final Results- corrected

My apology to Brian VanNest who won  2009 AmCup F1H which I did not list and to Austin Gunder for reporting that he won F1C instead of F1J which he did win. Maybe  Austin will win F1C in 2010.  I saw both of them at Eloy this weekend and neither mentioned my errors. Here's the correct list.
Congratulation to our 2009 AmCup Winners

F1A  Andrew Barron,
F1B  Blake Jensen
F1C  Mike Roberts
F1P  Dave Rounsaville
F1G  Mark Belfield
F1H Brian Van Vest
F1J  Austin Gunder
F1Q  Bernie Crowe
F1E  Peter Brocks
Junior Leaders
F1A  Timothy Barron
F1B  Brian Pacelli
F1P  Brian Pacelli
F1G Sevak Malkhasyan
F1H  Miles Johnson
F1J  Brian Pacelli
As is our tradition, trophies and certificates will be awarded at the AmCup Banquet, Feb 13, 2010 at Wasco’s Elk’s Club.  See the 2010 MaxMen entry form (SEN #1383, Jan 3, 2010. Winner’s get one free dinner and are expected to wear coat and tie for the award presentation).
SCAT wished to thank the clubs, contest and organizers of the AmCup contests which provides the structure for this outstanding competitive series. We made one change for the 2010 season, the bonus points will be awarded at 2 entry increments (1 bonus point for 6 and 7 entries,  2 bonus points for 8 and 9 entries etc.).

Writer in Wyoming

I love the fact that I am "the writer in wyoming" it makes me sound a heck of a lot more epic than I actually am. Thank you MMM for the SEN e-mail. I am longing for freeflight, however my airplanes are 1000 miles away in California. For those who asked who I am....I am that snot nosed punk who used to face off with my elders on SEN...well maybe the facing off has not altogether ceased at this point. I flew F1A from 2000-2008 and yes I was one of those spoiled lost hills guys. I love the sport. I love reading SEN and all the good times that roll on it...I was Jim Parkers MOTO FLAPPING nutball for the previous finals, and he is responsible for keeping me in the sport as long as I was flying. Hope that gives a bit of a background...all the lost hills guys just know me as the loud mouth kid who loved to make fun of Jon Davis and Steve Spence...Its all love boys.

2010 Jr. Team Selection Newsletter Number 5
Jan 2010
The Jr Team Selection is complete and we are pleased to announce this fine group of young, talented flyers. They placed in the top three of the Jr Finals- Nats 14 rounds of competition and achieved the 75 minutes qualification time.  After the Jr Finals- NATs combo, there were 2 open team spots, one in F1B and one in F1P. Per the Jr Team Selection Program, applications were taken for these two open spots. We received an application for each of the open spots.  These applications demonstrated the interest, growth and capability of these two flyers and both were selected.  One of these applications came from Brian Pacelli who had qualified for two team positions and had selected the F1P position.  He sent in the only application for the open F1B position. After careful consideration,  the Jr Team Selection Committee decided Brian was capable of flying two events at the Jr World Champs in Romania this year and would maximize the team’s position to bring the Nations Cup back to the USA once again.

The 2008 Jr team recommended that it would helpful to have the Jr Team manager selected prior to the Jr Finals. This was acted upon and George Batiuk was nominated and approved as the Jr Team Manager. He will soon be getting to work to raise the needed funds for the trip to Romania. He has begun working with the Jrs and their families to get them ready for the Jr World Championship competition.
To the other young flyers who did not make this team, continue to fly and improve, 2012 could be your year!

Sheriff’s Report Local Flap in LA:
 

Dateline January 21st:  In Local News broadcast today in LA, reporting the extreme winter storms that have hit California this week, the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department stated …”an automobile was lifted off the ground and went spinning through the air to land in a tree”.  A spokesman later clarified that they had already ruled out the incident as not being caused by local model flyers, who had earlier been spotted practicing their Moto Flapping techniques for the upcoming contest season.  “It wasn’t our fault honest Officer”, said a local flyer at the scene, “We stopped flapping just as soon as we saw daylight under the wheels”
