WIX 2009 MX Contest closed - Last day to vote!

Mon Aug 03, 2009 10:54 am

Ok everybody. First off, I have another exam this Friday (hopefully that will finish off what I couldn't finish off last week), so I'm not going to be concentrating on this until Friday or Saturday, at which point I will release the results.
What I would like is that if anyone wants to contribute to the "people's choice" judging, go to this link http://picasaweb.google.com/doolittleraiders/WIXContest?feat=directlink and peruse the photos (I've collected them there for ease of browsing). If you have a favorite (or three) send an email to Ryan AT doolittleraid.com (Replace the _at_ with @) and put them in order and in THIS FORMAT (and the numbers I'm using aren't in the album!)...

1. #00
2. #46
3. #89

All of the photos are numbered either on the bottom left or top left.
Also, if you want your vote to count, you must use the following in your subject line:

WIX 2009 MX Contest Vote

Submissions are due by Friday, Aug. 8, 10:00 P.M. CDT

I will make the final decision, but will be strongly guided by the "popular" vote and will release the results of the "popular" vote as well.

Remember, someone (and you have the opportunity to help me chose) is going to get a nice prize...

Looking for more response!

Well, the deadline is tomorrow evening and no new votes. There's still plenty of time to vote and remember that there's a good prize for the winner and the runner up. If you want a particular photo to win, get your friends together, look through the photos and send in your votes.

Ok ladies and gentlemen. Today's the deadline. I go in for an FAA checkride in about an hour, so I won't be back on WIX most likely until this evening. Hope you'll send in your votes before the deadline! I still need more votes. There is no clear winner yet.

Thanks but I busted a couple of things :oops:. I was all jitters and nerves today - got through the oral OK, but busted maneuvers I know and have done tons of times before. Gonna have to go back and practice some more. :cry: Also have to stop letting the FAA guys intimidate me even though my examiner today was actually pretty nice.

So Sorry...please check your PMs :)

Sorry to hear about your checkride, Ryan. Just remember.....It's just a dumb piece of metal, make it do what you want it to do. ;-)

That's O.K. Ryan, just assess what happened, and what you didn't do as well as you would like, and make that your focus of study. You will do better pal.

Fri Aug 07, 2009 3:48 pm

Seriously guys, I'm OK. I just can't believe how bad of a showing I put on for the FAA guy today.

Hey - the contest is still going as planned! Vote early, vote now, vote often (wait, don't do that - unless you're a... Oh, can't say that either!). But if you haven't voted yet, please do so!
