As Oddball would say, "with so many positive vibes maybe we can't lose! you're on baby!" so the full weekend is a go. See some of you Friday, more Saturday, and even more Sunday!

40% chance of thunderstorms, we think about canceling.
The weather increases to 80% chance of thunderstorms with almost 40km/hr wind, we go for it.
No wonder women don’t understand us.

OK. I took a bunch of images at 8:30pm on Saturday just after the huge windstorm... Please excuse the blurriness. It was still raining and it was still fairly dark...
By Sunday morning, all the water had soaked away...

Some pics from yesterday. Some from the ground, some from a quad-copter. Vids to follow. Have to do a bit of editing. Nothing Hach quality though.

Thanks to the campers who braved the elements to bring us these pictures. A number us sacrificed our canopies and that was unfortunate. Lesson leaned, don't tempt mother nature. Shoveler74; Some nice pics of the field, including the aerial shots. ( hope you are feeling better )

This video shows that the work put into the field really paid off. Nice edit by the way.

You all know I step lightly!!!
The weekend was awesome, I think we had to pay for Saturday & Sunday's awesome battling weather with a few canopy's, a worthy sacrifice to the Tanking Gods perhaps...
The battles were sharp and exciting and the vehicles were behaving, taking and giving hits as expected I had very little issues on the battling end. Probably the best event I've attended
