[NSRCA-discussion] D4/D5 Shootout

Sat Jan 16 16:05:55 AKST 2010

What do you think about June 12/13.  That would make back to back weekends.
The later in June we get the worse the sun gets.

May's too early. I've seen many years where we don't even have a chance to
fly until the end of May because of bad weather.

 Verne it looks like the date issue has been solved. Milwaukee has agreed to
shift theirs back a week and I think the Shootout is back on.
 The problems you mention about weather is so true. Seems more often than
not it plays into it.
 Remember 4 years ago we had 50 fliers show up only to get rained out for
the whole weekend.
 We will do all we can to get a good attendance this year. Mike
