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

[Bill's Email]

One thing that has resulted from basing the NATS in Muncie is that 
participation from pilots out west has fallen off. Pattern is one 
exception, but in many other disciplines the NATS is really not much 
more than a big contest held in Indiana.

AMA District X has the largest number of members, but among the lowest 
in NATS participation over all the areas. Moving the NATS around is one 
way to allow more people to participate.

My suggestion would be one year in Muncie the next year out west, then 
back to Muncie. I wonder how many of those that came from 500 miles or 
less would make the 2,100 mile trek it takes for us Left Coasters to get 
to Muncie.

Better yet, hold the NATS in Lebanon, Kansas, the closest city to the 
geographic center of the US!!!
