This is where it appears that Mike views himself differently than most others?
Mike, do you think you're a "viable competitor"?
THis is where i disagree with Yemeni .............neither one of us did the Masters class
or the Novice class (it was both of ours first show)
we both did very tough Florida shows (Laura's was a level 5)
i placed third in a class where the winner went on to turn pro
Laura came in fifth (or last).........and everyone including judges said she would have done great in the Masters class
"viable competitors" we have done one show each (i know peeps who have been competing on the local show scene for 10 years or more)
i have to laugh when you people say things like this .............watch and see this June (we will improve our placings)
yes we are "viable competitors"
