[NSRCA-discussion] Rule 8.1.1

[Rcmaster199 at aol.com]

It's a matter of time allocation. Trying to get some 700 flights in during 
the time available is no trivial task. Ask any Nats Event Director near you.
 
I would love to see our time increased by 2 days and Sportsman Class 
allowed....but that ain't gonna happen at an AMA Nats. AMA puts on a great deal of 
other events, many of which require the same site. The allotted time is divided 
as appropriate
 
NSRCA has put on it's own NATS (in lieu of and much to the chagrin of AMA) a 
bunch of year ago now. To do it again requires a whole lot of motivation, 
volunteers and money. It's doable but it's no trivial matter either

Has anyone ever estimated how many more people would attend the Nats
if Sportsman class was offered?
