FAI F3AL---Pattern IMAC combined

[Troy Newman]

Never said nothing about a NATS.....and the people that usually win were the
same people that won!

So was scoring so messed up?

Yes there were some differences.....My entire point is not to say they are
the same...The two events are NOT the same....

Rather we have the same interests and in today's lean and mean economic
environment maybe these two sides are more alike than you want to
believe....


Besides Marty who?
When was the last time you participated in either? I'm not picking on you
man. Just pointing out that many guys get all up in arms about stuff and
they have never tried it...never experienced it.....IT is the dual contest
and combined event.....


And many guys that are vocal are not out supporting the events of either
organization recently either.

Enough said from me....not flaming and not pointing figures....just these
are the attitudes and policies that drive the direction of a group. If the
NSRCA and IMAC want to keep driving their own car to the dance great. I have
a very meek and mild suggestion...CAR POOL.
