Midwest Slope Challenge 2005 Report
Posted by Greg Smith on Jun 22, 2005, 20:40
All the elements for a great Midwest Slope Challenge were in place.
Over 50 pilots, a great site, lots of planes. Only one real problem,
not much wind on contest days. No matter, that did not keep the
assembled slopers from having a great time, with most vowing to return
next year.
