I personally, and for the BPG Board of Directors, would like to apologize to Mike Booher for the way in which the DQ event was handled. I was the one who contacted the tower after Mike made his first pass and informed them that dragsters were not permitted in the S8/Q16. That was the way the rules were originally written. Shortly after it was pointed out that was not the fact. The decision was changed and Mike was then permitted to race. Unfortunately, mother nature made the final decision.
Added note: Nick Micale was unable to make the race due to serious back problems. Chris Lyons stepped in on short notice and did an exceptional job in handling the event. Thanks Chris.
