2006 Nationals NSRCA event planning

I vote for Wednesday. I just seemed turned around by having a banquet before
the contest was over. Wednesday is much better to my thinking. You make  it
final for approx. 80 people on Wednesday and they can then watch the finals
on Thursday.  There are 16-20 people left flying for the climax of Masters
and FAI.
There is a lot of tension and good flying to watch.
