[NSRCA-discussion] Nats

[Woodward, Jim (US SSA)]

Posting from the Wi-Fi in the hotel the IMAC judging seminar going on, so I have intermittment connection.  Ron, you have been involved with the NSRCA running the Nats for a long time and know how the whole Nats deal is broken out.  50+ guys in a dicipline is pretty high compared to what I have heard for other classes of competition.  
 
The AMA could cancel the ones that have like 15 or less entrants.  The Nats is a lot fun when your flying all day.  Maybe the AMA can give the NSRCA another day given is consistent high participation numbers.
Jim

I don't know; I wasn't there.  I heard that only 35 were there and 
had to assume whoever said it should have known what he was talking 
about or he should have kept quiet.  However, even if 60 were there, 
they had the AMA site for just as long as 120-125 of us did.
