The IMAC community converged on the Molalla field again this past Sept.13th and 14th.  Pilots from California, Washington, and Oregon competed in the 2003 Southern Challenge. The weather was nearly perfect, 75 degrees, slight breeze, blue sky, and fun. 

Dennis Welty, the Contest Director for the event, ordered up some handsome trophies for the more than 30 competitors.  The contest included a free lunch for both days.  The first day 1/4# polish dogs was the main stay, and Sunday, Treager wood-fired grilled, chicken breast was the main course.  We served 64 polish dogs and a dozen chicken burgers on Saturday, and more than 70 chicken dinners on Sunday.  

Thanks to all from the club who helped man the transmitter impound, post the score board,  etc., and a big Thanks to Bob Pearson and his wife Arlene for furnishing the computer and entering the data in the computerized scoring system.  To see the contest results and standings as posted on the IMAC NW website, click here.
