Matt - at least you make a valid point about time and making room for other
events etc. But, WHO decided Sportsman Class was less important? I pay my dues
just like everybody else! It is my dues, in part, that helps put the NATS on to
begin with. Some say 'intent' is an issue. OK, I intend not participate in the
NATS. I should get my 'not intended' portion of my dues back from AMA. <br>
Some things are just wrong. Just because 'it is written' or 'the intention
was' does not make exclusion of the Sportsman class at NATS the
right.<br>
And, that's all I got to say about that. <br>
Peace. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
