[NSRCA-discussion] Rule 8.1.1

[Mike Robinson]

Matt - at least you make a valid point about time and making room for other
events etc. But, WHO decided Sportsman Class was less important? I pay my
dues just like everybody else! It is my dues, in part, that helps put the
NATS on to begin with. Some say 'intent' is an issue. OK, I intend not
participate in the NATS. I should get my 'not intended' portion of my dues
back from AMA.
Some things are just wrong. Just because 'it is written' or 'the intention
was'  does not make exclusion of the Sportsman class at NATS the  right.
And, that's all I got to say about that.
Peace.
