Next year, I?ll just hit him with the nose wheel. Exact a little payback for him making me hit the dirt during one of his passes.
Now, Gary, you can't quite do that, can you??
No, I can't. But I'm learning that just before the mains hit, if I yank back hard on the yoke, the tail slams into the ground and the mains stay clear. I guess I could use that technique to "smack" Ed with the tail wheel...

Okay, and just in case you're wondering if I really do that...I was just joking. But I bet it'd work.
