I feel the need to report and set the record straight on this contest/event. #1 no need to take shelter as Gus predicted as all 20+ rockets flew successfully (i.e., no shreads, CATOs, or lawn darts which is almost unheard of at an MWP drag race), #2, in spite of all Gus' chiding, my rocket flew successfully and weighed in at 9lbs, 7oz only (loaded) an ounce more than the lightest rocket and eventual winner, Eric Cayemburg. My Comp 3 flew to 9808ft good for a third place finish. And a big "Congrats" to Eric C. as winner of the first "flame-motif" MWP Drag Race trophy!
Arrived home in the dark, with a lot of cleaning up and pictures / altimeter data to go thru but this sequence from one bank of the drag race sums it up. And +1 congrats to Eric.
