[NSRCA-discussion] Nat's finals -> Muncie site preparation, grass site?

[mike mueller]

 Glen I drove by site 4. It's terrible! Needs a whole lot of work before anything can be done on it. Bill Pritchitt said the rains have been so bad this spring that they have not been able to work on it. It was sopping wet too.
 It looked like they had to cut it but there was so much hay laying on the field that they needed a racking. Mike

Verne,
 
What about the grass site (4 I think?), any improvements there?  That site has been troublesome in the past to the Intermediate and Advanced pilots due to the grass length during the Nationals.  
 
Wonder if there are plans to prepare it any differently to better facilitate and minimize risk to contestants practicing for the the Worlds and for NATs competition.
 
Regards,
 
Glen Watson

Speaking of which, I was just at the AMA site last weekend for the annual D4/D5 contest. All the asphalt on the runways has been resurfaced and they’re about ¾ of the way done resurfacing the roadways within the AMA site. Flying off of new asphalt is about as good as it gets! 
 
The box lines haven’t been painted yet but I’m sure they’ll be done long before the F3A World’s and our Nats. I asked Bill Pritchett if he’d try and influence the markings on Site 3 since it’s always been confusing and the western-most station is just wrong. Bill’s going to see what he can do since he’s a full-time AMA employee as well as a very good pattern pilot.
 
Things are looking up for the World’s and the Nats!!!

Jarvis,
 
The NSRCA does not get the $100 from your entry fee… it only gets a portion of it.  Traditionally only places 1 thru 6th have been given trophies in Intermediate and Advanced…
