    As stated above, all of the entrants brought some very cool rockets to the contest. Scotty's blue and yellow paint scheme, CoyoteZ's innovative use of styrofoam cups, Greg's #FNC, GneissGuy's steampunk rocket, and QQUAKE's red and yellow paint scheme.

    In the end, I went with the hometown kid and voted for the Blood Sucker. It was otherwise too close to call.

    Well done, everyone!

    OOH! Looks like we have a drag race. Three excellent rockets fighting for the lead. Ok so it's a really slow drag race but it is still fun to watch

    Not much time left to vote! It isn't yet decided. It has been fun watching the "race"

    and apparently I may need to step up my game if I enter the next contest

    It's over?! but I still could win. I'm only 12 votes behind. I could make/ purchase a few new friends by midnight. But seriously, Fantastic rockets all. I don't think I have a chance, my fiance didn't even vote for mine. lol

    I might actually have to buy a Screamin Green Meanie now since I couldn't win one

    Thanks to Pem Tech and all who entered and voted.

    Congratz Greg on the win! Even though I voted for the Harbinger your 3FNC Mini was awfully nice!

    And thanks Scotty, it does take a bit of time getting things lined up..And the posting of the poll probably acounts for 90% of the time I devote to the contests(copy/paste SEEM so simple and quick until you start building a poll with 5 or 6 entries which means 12+ items to copy and paste)..My hand(and am sure my mouse too) feel a little strained afterwards!..But, I don't regret it and the small amount of gratitude makes it all worthwhile!Thank you!

    Thank you to Pantherjon for all your work in setting up these contests.

    Thank you to Layne Pemberton and Pemberton Technologies for both the contest prize and the Beta 3FNC with which I won the contest.

    Thank you to all the other entries, great work all!

    And finally thanks to everyone who voted, though the numbers seem a bit small for the apparent population of the site....

    I eagerly await another box from Pemberton Technologies!!
