60th Midwestern States Championships, 43rd
FAI Invitational and 41st Fall Oldtimers Contests Results.
The annual tri-contest

It was encouraging to see 6
Senior-age (less than 19 years) and 5 Junior-age contestants this year. Last year we had no Seniors at all. The FAI Jr team selection brought three of

The contest director for the
Oldtimer/Nostalgia contest was Bob Johnson, ably assisted by Jerry Keith and
Lloyd Myers. They also took care of most
of the entry procedures for both days as only 9 entrants were processed on
Sunday. Charlie Sotich again spent both
days doing all the hard work of recording and adding scores. He also made sure that everyone followed the
correct registration process starting with checking for AMA membership
cards.
