Does anyone have a list of competetors, looks like a Tigercat , and Stinson(?) in the pictures, anyone else?

I had heard that Happy Jack was the first 100 point winner of this prize. Maybe someone could confirm (or deny) that.
If true...WOW!

So let's photograph the winning team in front of the wrong, losing airplane. Geniuses.



Was great to see it...it's now on my desktop...an incredible restoration. Congrats to the team. Only problem I was kibitzing with Steve Hinton in the Strega pit when Happy Jack's took off Sunday. Darn!
