It was a 20 hour drive for me crossing five states. Luckily, there was no traffic for the entire trip and no bad weather. It was great seeing everyone and catching up. The ATC members present this year were Mitch Slagle, Greg Joyce Cap, John Manckia, Rick Barker, John Navant and Ken Fabricatore. There were 6 Turbits shown between two com- petitors; Ken Fabricatore and Mitch Slagle. Rick Barker was the judge.
