2020 Fall Championships
NEIL SIMPSON, BRIAN STAS & JOE FUSTOLO
TAKE THE TOP THREE SPOTS


OCTOBER 25, 2020 – KINGSTON, MA – The Silver Lake Regional High School in Kingston, Massachusetts was the location for the 2020 Fall Championships. The weather was cloudy, light breeze with temps topping out in the low fifties. A little warmer would have been better however weatherwise a pretty darn good day. The facility has a beautiful carpet of plush green grass. The Formula GX event attracted ten pilots the most in quite some time here in New England.

Round one saw Matt Stas get off to the best start with a 830 point three cut win followed by Rick Clark who logged a one cut win. Joe Fustolo and Neil Simpson were next as they flew each other to a one cut apiece draw in a match that was a full five minute war. Brian Stas and Jeff Vader also had an action filled round one match that ended with a mid-air somewhere past the four minute mark. In round two Matt maintained the contest lead with an airtime win over Rick while both Joe and Neil were pressing closer with one cut wins over Bill Bishop and Chris Sarnowski respectively. In Round three Joe posted a one cut win over Matt to take the contest lead. In the same round Neil and Brian flew to a one cut apiece draw. Jeff and Chris also posted wins that kept them in the hunt. Going into the final round it was Joe followed by Neil with Brian, Chris and Jeff within striking distance. The last three matches would be meaningful. Jeff got an airtime win over Chris in a match that was action filled. Neil got past Matt on airtime when Matt’s engine faltered towards the halfway point. In the final match Brian got a two cut win over Joe in a match where Joe’s engine slowed about halfway through. When the final scores were tabulated Neil had edged out Brian who finished just five cumulative point ahead of Joe. Jeff who was flying for the first time in a long time finished fourth.

Thank you to Brian Stas for securing the permit at this great location.

.I wanted to start by posting a photo of Jeff taken with my camera . . . since all the photos below are from his camera you won't see very many of him. Jeff takes professional level photos both stills and action shots. Besides all that he is an excellent flyer. Great to have him back in action.
