[NSRCA-discussion] Flash Poll - Relocate the Nats in 2010?

[Bill Glaze]

Interesting as to how things have changed.  In the past, when the Nats were held same time/same place, they could have as many as 1300 contestants, most of whom entered more than one event.  It started to get complicated when the mix included not only Free Flight (Gas, Rubber), but then Control Line, (Aerobatics, Speed, Carrier, etc.) and adding to the complication was the then-new Radio Control.  Sometimes with a grand entry of as many as 6 or 8 contestants for the radio folks.  It just gets worse and worse to accomodate everyone and every discipline, it seems.

  That is a possibility also.  AMA is thinking about returning the NATS to a 2 week all-events NATS like used to be done.  If all events are together, HQ can put all costs into one effort.  If they are all split up, Each group would have more costs to deal with due to the fact that HQ can't send a group of people to every site.

          Why not allow the SIGS to do their own thing? IMAC and NSRCA do not need to share a site. The LSF can find a site for the soaring NATS. Pylon knows what venues work for them and so on. FF can do their own thing as well. Why tie soaring and FF together and so on??

          Yes, it is just difficult to tell if it is actually feasible.  The problem is that it requires a large site for Pattern/Pylon/IMAC and will require another large site for Soaring/Outdoor FF.  It may be very difficult to actually find places that can handle this group.
