Icebreaker-2015

2015 GX Icebreaker

BRIAN STAS, NEIL SIMPSON

& CHRIS SARNOWSKI ARE TOP THREE

May 3, 2015 - WRENTHAM, MA - This was opening day and stop number one on the 2015 GX season schedule. Five contestants were on hand for this event hosted and cd’ed by Chris Sarnowski. Weather conditions were wonderful with temps in the mid- seventies, low humidity and sunny with a light breeze. There was no signs of winter rust as the contest was mid-air free with all the pilots giving a good account of themselves.

Round one saw Brian Stas get past Paul Kubek with a two cut win while Neil Simpson tried to keep pace with a one cut win over Chris Sarnowski. Brian and Neil faced off in round two with Brian getting the better of it two cuts to one. In the same round Chris got into contention with a two cut win over Rick Clark. Round three was somewhat tranquil with Brian and Chris and later, Neil and Paul flying to one cut apiece draws. In the final round, Neil posted a two cut win early. Chris then out dueled Paul two cuts to one. Neither proved to be enough when Brian, who had a comfortable lead, stayed out of trouble flying Rick to a one cut apiece draw in the final.

Thank You to everyone who shared in the judging and thank you to Chris Sarnowski for a yet another good contest. It was great to have Rick Clark back with us after a twelve month lay-off. Rick flew very well exhibiting no signs of rust.
