[NSRCA-discussion] Speaking of the 2011 Worlds at Muncie .. . . .

[J Shu]

Mark, this year we drove for about an hour (120kmh+) to practice. We did find the field that was only 2.2 miles from the hotel for once the contest started. In Argentina we opted to stay an hour from the site (mistake, but lesson learned) but only 5 min from the practice site. In France we were lucky enough to have the field that was an hour and a half away to practice at (but McD's was only 10 min from there lol). We won't have any issues in Muncie though.

I believe the thinking for the Worlds then Nats was most would only want to see the semi's and finals anyway, so putting the Nats afterwards made more sense since most show-up a few days earlier anyway. And by the semi's, only 30 pilots will be out practicing so the fields won't be that bad. And after that, no one practices.

Jason

  I have to say I concur.  I would love to attend both, and likely will try to help at the worlds in some capacity, but back to back would make that impossible.  Even for those who can make the vacation time, many can't do two weeks in a row, and like Mike, I would opt to compete rather than watch.  

   

  Not to mention that the availability of practice sites would be even more limited if both events were side by side.  Tony's suggestion of Sept seems to make the most sense, though I have NO clue what the AMA calendar looks like, but I would like to think that the opportunity to host the WC would allow for some calendar clearing.

   

  Derek/Andrew/Jason - how far away do teams travel to have access to a practice facility?  I'm curious what sort of "radius" clubs need to be in to be a viable option for making their site available to incoming teams.

  I sincerely hope that this idea is changed. Moving the Nats after the World Championships will greatly reduce the attendance at the Nats. I think it would be better to schedule the Worlds in September.

  That is correct. come and see the semis and finals of the Worlds and then stay and compete in the pattern Nats. the idea is that we can hopefully entice some of the world's competitors to fly in our Nationals as well.

  I also heard the pattern NATS will be held after the Worlds?
