[NSRCA-discussion] Exper Class??

"I don't want a trophy for finishing 5'th, nor do I want a trophy for being old!"
This is the first thing I have heard here that makes any sense to me for a very long time.

Perhaps we should all pause to reflect upon why we do this at all. I know I am only in it for the Fun & Friends. When you propose any tweaks to the way we do things I feel it best you consider the impact of the tweak on the health of the game.

I must confess that I am on day 8 of the knee replacement and in the welcome grasp of prescription drugs.

  No thanks from this old masters flyer!

   I don't want a trophy for finishing 5'th, nor do I want a trophy for being old!

  A variation on this is to add additional awards by age category like at this year's NATS i.e. highest placing JR, SR, etc. by class at local meets.

  It  would be best   for the masters pilot who is at the bottom of the pack to   STAY in Masters.. Moving back will not help   that  pilot advance. 

   

  Moving back to a lower class

  .We have that situation covered for a pilot that has been out of flying and wants to get back into it but not for one who just wants to win in  a lower class.  Win but win with the BEST you can do.. 

  IF they flew and advanced they should continue on that path

   

   

   

   Masters group-  CDs should add an extra award..  Fourth  and  Fifth place.

  something to think about.

  .

   

  Boredom in a lower class --------- we will lose that pilot

  Its nice we have a problem with TO MANY pilots in Masters.  A sign something is working here.

    I would like to see the guys that are stuck at the bottom of their respective classes have an easier time going back a class. The main reason we have so many 

   

    Masters flyers is we advanced guys thru the system before they were ready to compete due to a lack of competition. It's sad to see guys hit a brick wall and end up quiting the sport due to frustration. 

     I like the idea that I can fly Fai or Masters based on my own volition. In the midwest we always have large fields in Masters and it's pretty hard to beat the field.
