Pilots,
This weekend's ISR was one of the most competitive and exciting events
in Davenport history. We started with 32 pilots with winds in excess of
30 knots for both days. Pilots did not have to worry about how much
ballast they needed from one round to another because we were FULL UP
from morning to late afternoon! Couldn't ask for better conditions.
Wind direction wasn't a problem as the winds slowly shifted to WNW and
held for both days.
Racing - we got a total of 10 full rounds in over the weekend and we
witnessed some of the best and fastest pilots shred up the course. I
will post some of these races on the Davenportisr web site.
Carnage was very high at this year's event as many aggressive pilots
flew hard and fast against the highly skilled field. All pilots were
not immune to the carnage as many veterans got caught up in some of the
most spectacular mid airs we have seen. Many of these have been
captured on video and I will be posting them on the Davenportisr web site.

Baskin Award:
Bill Highfeild - Many pilots tried to impress the judges this year,
but it was Bill's graceful landing in the launching area in front of
(on) the spectators that captured this award. I have a video of
this one... Sorry Bill..
I will be posting the final results on the www.davenportisr.com web site
within the next few days. For those of you who would still like to
purchase Davenport merchandise, the on-line store will remain open for a
few more weeks. Go to: http://www.cafepress.com/davenport2005
