the best post yet a man that sees it the way it is .you have either got it or youve not if you havent got it blame your loft location blame the bop why not look in the mirror and think why cant i get my doos from distance the answer will be right in front of you . this year my doos flew very well in the fed winning the fed averages also this year i sent doos to 3 channel races and never timed in .the reason being either the my doos cant do 600 mile or down to my man management of them for the long distance . my answer for not timing in not the doos but me for the way i raced them thinking i could put them every week and still get them from across the pond . and by the way i got a doo home from the 3 races but late which i was glad with and those same doos will go back across this year in a totaly different nest condition . i think when some guys go on about the west section they go on about the likes of elgin forres inverness but no you never hear them blame loft location or bop they just get on with what they enjoy and thats racing there doos . and by the way take a straight line from france to the west section then do the same for the north section and you west boys are hard done by dry your eyes
