[NSRCA-discussion] 2013 NATS dates

[Paul Lachance]

Mark,

I think a lot of us remember the hangovers the next day. Some of us stopped a little early and had our best flights ever the next day. Lmao. I was proud to win a round a place 4th in sportsman at the 94 NPAC. Those were fun times. I remember the crop duster "Jack" flew in to watch us fly. I think all there remember the roar of his Agcat coming in for landing. 

Paul

> Scott,  I think Ron is correct on this one (biting my tongue as I voice that!)   Back then the NSRCA had no input what so ever.  Obviously enough was wrong with the way the AMA ran the event to create a complete boycott of the nationals in lieu of the NPAC.
