Lamar's Answers to Troy

[Maureen Dunphy]

I see the one thing I should have added to the NSRCA History at www.nsrca.org was the number of contestants at each NATS and N-Pac.  Maybe I can still go back and find that info.  Anyway, my files are in storage right now, but we had way over 90 at each N-PAC.  I believe the second was over 150 pilots and the first was close to that.  I'll try to find the exact figures.

  The turnout and enthusiasm was huge. Every pilot I spoke to told me they had
  a great time at these contests. I think they got about 90 pilots at each.

  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..
