Slabslayer, what if those pro guys are members here, like ronnie capps, weezer, mr crappie, or some of the other guys. We can all learn some important tips from talking to them at the tourney. Why shut them out when it's only a fun tourney. And i understand the safety factor Whiskers, but that should only be considered if the forcast is for bad weather. Still think everyone should launch together regardless of motor size, but thats just my thoughts.
