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

[michael s harrison]

My thoughts and opinion.  First of all, the Nats is being treated as if it
is just a local, fly for fun, whatever event.  The Nats is a national event
where the best in the US and those from any other country competes for the
National title.  This is the biggest competition in the United States.  It
is also the best competitive pattern event the US, possibly in the world.
There are a core group of individuals that make all that possible.  The
event has evolved, grown and matured over the course of many years.  It
works very well.  I would be very cautious about doing any major upheaval to
that event.

 

Very importantly also, the world championships is the the FAI worlds
premiere event in pattern.  It deserves its sole identity and space.  I
strongly recommend it has its own time and commitment.  It is 2 years away.
Now is the time to get the core group together to put an event together we
can all be proud of.  People that travel from all over the world to come
here to compete deserve our very best uncompromised effort.

 

It is very important we decide our philosophy in this issue.  Are we doing
this to please the casual flyer or the dedicated competitor?  Is it a
curiosity or a serious commitment to provide the very best arena to find the
best flyer in the nation and the world?

 

I say make the Nationals the best in the nation, make the World Championship
the best in the world.

 

I believe this twofer concept will make both events suffer.  I am opposed to
it.  

 

Separate the events by a substantial time frame.  Find someone dedicated to
making the world championship a truly world class event.  Build a team for
it.  Make it happen.

 

 

Regards,

Mike

Not the same thing. The IRCHA meet is not a competition, practice fields are
not at a premium. I still say the WC's should be held in September.

So the IRCHA guys had their fly-in directly after the f3c world champs... I
think it worked for them.

 

Perhaps IRCHA can be persuaded to move their event out 1 week to accommodate
us?

I'm guessing the IRCHA guys will fight those dates as well as that is time
they normally have their fly in, and due to the size it has grown to, I
doubt they will be willing to give it up.

I heard they only got like 900 or so paid pilots this past year. Is that a
lot??
