[NSRCA-discussion] Fw: Re: Re: 2013 NATS dates

[Mike Mueller]

Arch we had the Nats warmup there I think it was in 2011. We had site 1 and Pylon had site 3. Some of the larger 1/4 scale racers flew a huge course and just about over the fringe of the parking lot on site 1. That was interesting. 
 My guess is with it being a Sunday the pylon guys will not be at the site too late. Still it's not the same and most of us wanting a full day of practice will have to find off site facility's.
 I know this is not a situation you created Arch. We're going to have to adjust.
                                                                                   Mike

Mike,
The AMA has shortened the total NATS period this year, so you read that correct. Fortunately, our actual flying days were not changed.  Soaring went from 13 days to 6 days this year. In previous years, it was never truly our day, but it worked out that way as a day of setup for the workers.  We have never had a true practice day, but since the sites were free, they were available.  Sites 1 and 4 may be available, but that remains to be seen.  Once Pylon is done then we will be able to use the sites.  Think of it as how the others sites have worked on Saturdays in previous years.
Archie

I have a question too.
 On the AMA site they show RC Pylon still being there on the Sunday the 21st. If that's the case will it stop us from practicing on that day? Thanks, Mike

I sent a message on facebook, but here is my quesiton again via "real" email . . .  .


Am I set to work site 1 again this year?  I am not going to try and compete and work as I did last year, it did not work out very well.  


Thanks.

Just settled dates here at the NATS planning meeting. The official dates are now set and I want to get it out early. 

July 21-25. 
Check-In is July 21. 
Intermediate & Advanced flying July 22-24
Masters and FAI Prelims July 22-24
Masters & FAI finals July 25

Fees are the same as last year.
Early entry deadline:  June 24
Late deadline: July 8

Fees will once again double after June 24. Refunds can be issued up to 24 hours prior to start, minus the AMA part,  so if you register early and have to change, you can get your NSRCA fees back.  

Will update with more information later, but wanted to get the dates out for planning purposes. 

Arch
