If you thought last round was a shake-up, just WAIT for Round Five 

First, two line-breaks in a row, Larry Jolly and Mike Smith, I *think*.  
Doug Pike says he saw Mike Smith pop, and I couldn't see the other, but 
Larry came in very early on time.  Mike Smith got a relight because he 
had an line break to spare (you are only allowed two all contest long).

Arendt Borst - early, landing
Jolly - early, landing
Skip Miller - early, landing
Burnoski - early, landing
Daryl Perkins - landed early, clipped a car in the pits, slid down the 
hood and landed nose first, top of the tail touching the hood!  The car 
was not damaged at first glance, nor was the plane.

And as I am typing this, Mike Smith just landed and buried the group, to 
the applause of the group at hand!  He's switched to a white Sharon.
