Did you know that round five of the Shamrock Showdown offered a very tight race for the highscore? posted: Apr 21st, 2005 Round five of the FSL Shamrock Showdown 2005 was a very close race for the highest score in the AAA Class.

To top off the great weather and participation, a strange coincidence: round five of the draw was exactly the same jump as round three of Meet #2 on March 19th.
