I have to agree. While posts leading up to rtl21 appeared to be pretty quiet
until the last few days (it's obvious we're all procrastinators) I was
thoroughly surprised to see 13 entrants. That makes my day.

I hope Sergio knows better: No one is afraid of Chris. Maybe I should put that
onto the sidebar. At least Glen came out and did a good job.

I'm awaiting Dave to send the official results so I can put them on the photo
page. Everyone who took photos should post their links into the NG so I can
link to them.

I'm not even going there with Mr I Love Metric.

| (...) I guess we will have to wait for the score keeper. grin. AND i did learn that you CAN drive a RC motor with an RCX.
