(This means we took 1st and 2nd place!)

Congrats to all those who competed and especially to:

Tim:  Gold  (Evan Cathey silver in gentlemen’s agreement)

David Telfer: Gold    (Jun Chong silver in gentlemen’s agreement)

David Kwon:  Gold (Russel (Lotus OC) silver in gentlemen’s agreement)

Dom Hoskins:  Silver

Mike Martinez who should have medaled had some people not meddled in the judging….

Timmy Hwang: Gold (Lotus OC)
