Wednesday July 27 to Friday July 29, 1988 I leave the camera behind and focus on my flying. I do the best I've ever done at a US Nationals - this is my third - and come sixth in my circle. Unfortunately only the top 20, five from each circle, progress to the qualifying rounds where the top five fliers go to the top five flyoff to determine the Champion. I score my first ever >500 point score at a US Nationals and this is where the Expert Class begins. I'm pretty pleased. Brian qualifies for the top twenty.
