The temperatures were warm. They climbed into the low 90s, but the humidity was not too bad. The winds were higher than forecast. They peaked out between 10 and 15 mph.
The event was cluster and drag race day. We had several entries and John Stein won the prize drawing.
It was great to see he and Sherry back at a launch.
