That was awesome, looks blustery on the ground 😅 Was there an issue with the smoke?

Thanks! There was a "controlled burn" taking place all during the competition, which wasn't a factor. BUT...yes the wind got into the 30+ area on the last afternoon (when I shot this), and the "controlled burn" turned into a major, several day wind-driven fire. Fortunately, not too much was burned except for hillsides. Makes you wonder though where the controlled "burners" brains were at...
