When all is said and done after the events, a group of people that work hard all competetion long are often ignored in the “Thank You” section: The Refs. I would like to thank ALL the refs at the Championship event this year. They worked hard, tried to be fair, and exhibited extreme professionalism. As part of the crew (queuing/pit to field traffic control) on Newton Field, I saw this time and time again. Several people were downright rude to the refs and every time, the refs were patient and clearly stated their opinion without losing their cool. GREAT JOB REFS!!!
P.S. I also had the peasure of getting to know several of the refs at the two regional events i also was on crew at. If you do the same you will discover they are great people and really friendly once you get to know them.
