There were many close races in 2003, even one tie, and a few runaways, none greater than Nick Raptis’ 101.5 point margin in the Oregon Master class. Prizes were a little higher this year than last, indicating an upturn in GP events and an increase in attendance at some events. Raptis and Stephen Buck received double checks, as the overall winners for their respective states.

Prizes:
WA - $140.24 per class (1st), $70.12 per class (2nd), $140.24 overall (1st)
OR - $93.28 per class (1st), $46.64 per class (2nd), $93.28 overall (1st)
Prizes funds split equally in case of tie.
