The situation regarding motorhomes is a case in point, and we've got 25 competitors scrambling. Other changes to conduct of the Nats should be by competitor input, with careful consideration by the NSRCA BoD. <o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>Jon<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>On Jun 5, 2017 4:07 PM, John Fuqua via NSRCA-discussion <<a href="mailto:nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org">nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p><p>The whole point of Blytheville is to do "something else". <br><br><br><br>-----Original Message----- <br>From: NSRCA-discussion [<a href="mailto:nsrca-discussion-bounces@lists.nsrca.org">mailto:nsrca-discussion-bounces@lists.nsrca.org</a>] On <br>Behalf Of Dr. Mike Harrison via NSRCA-discussion <br>Sent: Monday, June 5, 2017 3:30 PM <br>To: 'Whodaddy Whodaddy'; 'General pattern discussion' <br>Subject: Re: [NSRCA-discussion] Mike Harrison <br><br>Thanks Gary, <br>I do understand the discontent, however, the point is to make it a quality <br>event. I am going under the assumption you read my explanation for all this. <br>If you consider the caliber of judging when you basically have 8 rounds of <br>finals-masters,fai- in 1 day, how do you maintain quality of judging? <br>The quality of flying is very high yet it is ok to use unexperienced <br>haphazard judges? You yourself complained about how much money time and <br>effort you are going to spend doing this but you are willing to take <br>whatever is available for judges? Doesn't make sense. <br>That is what has happened in the past. <br>You are upset because you can't fly 2 more flights after having flown 8 <br>flights not counting all the practice flights. <br>This is not a marathon event. The purpose is to select the best pilot to <br>the best of our ability. 8 flights should be enough. <br>I cannot promise you the best judges even under this new system but it is <br>important to try something else. <br><br><br><br>Regards, <br>Mike <br><br><br><br>-----Original Message----- <br>From: NSRCA-discussion [<a href="mailto:nsrca-discussion-bounces@lists.nsrca.org">mailto:nsrca-discussion-bounces@lists.nsrca.org</a>] On <br>Behalf Of Whodaddy Whodaddy via NSRCA-discussion <br>Sent: Saturday, June 3, 2017 5:38 PM <br>To: <a href="mailto:nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org">nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org</a> <br>Subject: [NSRCA-discussion] Mike Harrison <br><br>I have communicated with many entrants for the NATS this year that are not <br>happy with the plan for the finals in masters and FAI .. <br>I guess i get to be the poster boy for discontent over this ... <br>IE it seems you are not taking suggestions or input from a general <br>membership ... <br><br>While many appreciate the effort it takes to run an event like this the <br>notion of cutting off the finals to two rounds and flying FAI in the <br>afternoon seems off base for many reasons ... <br>I do appreciate your effort and hard work and wish you to reconsider these <br>plans ... <br><br>The legacy of the event is after all in your hands <br><br>Gary <br><br>Sent from my iPhone <br>_______________________________________________ <br>NSRCA-discussion mailing list <br><a href="mailto:NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org">NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org</a> <br><a href="http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion">http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion</a> <br><br>_______________________________________________ <br>NSRCA-discussion mailing list <br><a href="mailto:NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org">NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org</a> <br><a href="http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion">http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion</a> <br><br>_______________________________________________ <br>NSRCA-discussion mailing list <br><a href="mailto:NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org">NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org</a> <br><a href="http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion">http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion</a> <o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></div></div><div id=DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><table class=MsoNormalTable border=1 cellpadding=0 style='border:none;border-top:solid #D3D4DE 1.0pt'><tr><td width=55 style='width:41.25pt;border:none;padding:9.75pt .75pt .75pt .75pt'><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=emailclient" target="_blank"><span style='text-decoration:none'><img border=0 width=46 height=29 id="_x0000_i1025" src="https://ipmcdn.avast.com/images/icons/icon-envelope-tick-green-avg-v1.png"></span></a><o:p></o:p></p></td><td width=470 style='width:352.5pt;border:none;padding:9.0pt .75pt .75pt .75pt'><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:13.5pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#41424E'>Virus-free. <a href="http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=emailclient" target="_blank"><span style='color:#4453EA'>www.avg.com</span></a> <o:p></o:p></span></p></td></tr></table><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></div></body></html>
