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

[Glen Watson]

Mike - thanks for the report. Can't do much about mother nature, she has a
private agenda. 
 
I am hopeful the weather holds and there is a contingency plan in place to
make it ready to allow quality practice and competition flying.

 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

Will there be a finals for Intermediate and Advanced class, if so will they
persent trophy thru 8th place, just as they do in Masters and FAI.
