GQ_jumper 4 #28 October 24, 2005 Airspeed posted a 24 over Fire's 23 in round one of four way. And at the end of the 8 way day France finished out the day by closing the lead Airspeed had over them to one point.History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. --Dwight D.

Ron 10 #29 October 24, 2005 QuoteIs this your prediction (US sweep) or just the listing of US teams? It was my prediction...Now you know why the "Psychic Friends Network" fired me. Of course its still early.

jmpwme 0 #30 October 24, 2005 I'm a bit stunned at the prediction. A US sweep??? Very patriotic and it might hold true in the end. I would have gone Fire, Airspeed, Black Cats (or whatever they are called now). Of course it looks like I have the benefit of several rounds, but this would have been my prediction all along. REALLY, it would have Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GQ_jumper 4 #32 October 25, 2005 What can I say, Im a patriot. Quote And with good reason especially since Fastrax has now posted a higher score than Fire in the third round proving they have what it takes to pull up into the top three and help Fire knock Russia out of a medal position. And Airspeed......well, yeah. need I say anything more about their performance in both 4 and 8 way. And posting a 34 with a draw that had some decent size turns between the randoms IMO.History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. --Dwight D.

Round 6 for Fastrax looked like the camera ate the video; a few points then a long video pause then it seemed to jump around and go back to the launch and more formations then it was over. It also didn't appear to be judged. No Omniskore clock, formations or other indicators. I have no idea what Microburst is doing next year. We'll probably have a team meeting in the near future and sort all that stuff out. I have been itching for some tunnel time and turning points instead of training students and throwing drogues.
