Well, I know this wasn't the last season technically, but it was for the "old regime", so deal with it!

I have a few pictures, some articles, but would like the comments of members from that year as well.

1973 RCA Championships Write-Up!
The article also stated that the Thunderbirds score of 76.35 was the highest ever. Just another in the long list of conspiracies. Check the history books folks, the highest score, at that time, was a 77.75 the previous year. By who you ask? If you have to ask, you're on the wrong site!
