Special Notes: This was the first open division event I ever won. I was playing against all of the great California players, including Scott Zimmerman, Stork, Mark Horn, Tim Selinske, Al Bonopane and others. I was so excited I won, I remember leaping over a cable street barrier to get across the street to Frisbee central so I could record my victory. Two years later, I would win MTA at the 1983 US Open.
