DrewGPM 0 #1 July 27, 2005 Meet #3 of the Illinois CPC was held this past Sunday at Skyknights, in East Troy, WI. The weather provided the guys with flashbacks of meet 1, strong winds! The course was set up with a 15 knot crosswind, complete with gusts and lulls. The approaches were tough, and the scores reflect that. First up was the distance course. Round one ended with Matty Wright in the lead by 12'. Dan Raymond got off to rough start, but was still in the thick of things in third. In round two Nick Batsch showed why he is the number 1 competitor in the district. He stepped up his game with a run of 184' and took the win in Distance. Next up was Accuracy. As the 184' run in the distance round tells you, the conditions were not favorable for this event. Matty Wright had the only scoring round, it took everything had to get that canopy into zone 1, but he did it! Dan and Nick each got close, but couldn't get based the dead zone. The final event was the Speed carve. All three competitors missed the gate in the first run, the strong cross wind made it difficult to set up for the gate. The second run, we decided to change the name from speed carve to speed kiting! Nobody flew through the course clean, Nick proved to have the better kiting technique and earned the win. The Overall results for the competition were: 1. Nick Batsch 2. Matty Wright 3. Dan Raymond Special thanks to Joey Cook, the pilots and the staff at Skyknights for making this event happen. Next stop, August 20-21 at Skydive Chicago. With any luck, we'll get to run this one over the pond...keep your fingers crossed! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
