[NSRCA-discussion] Proposed Masters Sequence for 2009/2010

[Mark Atwood]

Hear hear.

I¹m not generally a proponent of changing the lower classes all the time
(the intent is that they not be destination classes...I also know the
reality of that so please, no hate mail) But I¹m a HUGE HUGE HUGE fan of
being ABLE to change them every year...i.e. Removing the patterns from the
AMA rulebook and allowing the Sig to post the schedules that will be in
effect in a given year.

I think you¹ll find ALL of the contest board members would vote ³Yea² for
that if they ever got the chance to...

The advantages are so many I can¹t even begin to list them.
