The Sturbridge Lawn Darts held their Fall Gremlin contest on September 20th at 10am. The New Hampshire crowd was well represented with 7 contestants and several spectators coming down in two 15 passanger vans. Due to having only a couple of stock class contestants, we decided to fly open class only and get in more rounds. We had a great start to the contest with 4 of the first 5 heats decided by cuts and then we had 2 rounds with none and finally 2 more cuts in the 4th round to finish things off. One of the highlights was the grudge match by the new young guns, the brothers McCormack where Tyler showed he can trash talk AND fly combat. Hhe cut his brother and got the landing point for good measure for a total for the day of a cut and 3 of 4 landing points. The older generation was saved from disgrace by Bob Barger Sr cutting Tyler in the very first heat of the day and ending with 2 cuts and 3 of 4 landings. Bob Kilmon took third place with a cut and 2 landing points for the day. Steve Brian was back with his Electric Gremlin and was competitive until something fried in the last round. It was a mid-air free day and the only real damage was a hard landing by Ricky that snapped his fuselage.

The final results were as follows:
Open Class
1st Place Bob Barger Sr with 9 points
2nd Place Tyler McCormack with 6 points
3rd Place Bob Kilmon with 5 points
