I certainly do.  NSRCA hosted two N-PAC contests in the 1990's.  The 
first was at Lawrenceville, IL and co-CD'd by Mike Dunphy and Jim Fife. 
  The second was at Tullahoma, TN and CD'd by Mike Dunphy.

We hosted the N-PAC contests to demonstrate to AMA that we were willing 
to and fully capable of hosting our own national championships.  The 
N-PAC contests were instrumental in convincing AMA to let us run our 
event at the Nats.  Other SIGs followed in running their events at the 
Nats..
