The Miller was Tom Miller from PA, flying his own design. Tom lost it
on the last round with a landing that was out by just a few feet.
Probably would have given him enough time. I think Joe Hahn was 6th, I
was just a few points behind Daryl going into the last round, but Jerry
Robertson hosed me, Joe Hahn, and Mike Fox which bumped Daryl up to 3rd
since he won his group. I can't complain about 8th since the last time
I flew HLG was the last nats.
