Hung out to dry? 41+48+23.55+N,120+19+42.79+W,Sugar+Hill+west+launch(Sugar Hill west launch)

Since when is it okay for a meet organizer (and chairman of the competition committee) to dis competition pilots in the USHPA magazine?  Or to dis another means of getting them in the air?

"Be there or be a clone?" Where is that coming from?

It appears to me that the meet organizer, Mike Haley, is a desperate man.  Too few pilots are signing up for his meet.

Who exactly is representing the evil empire and the dark side, here?
