Hey, Jay, did you mention that you were one of two 235's? (grinning).
I have my sources, even though I didn't attend...


Actually, there were four 235s entered in the judging. (And apparently some
others that the owners didn't want judged.) The 235 is not a common breed.

Last year the CPA (Cherokee Pilots Association) had 235s and 236s (Dakotas)
combined into a single class for competition, which made it a LOT tougher.
The Dakota that won last year was a late-model aircraft with a $50K glass
panel. (It's actually for sale now -- for something like $170K.)

This year they split the competition into several more classes (For example,
early model Cherokee 180s were in a separate class from Archers this year,
etc.) which made the classes a bit smaller, and the competition a lot more
fair.
