Having Masters first and probably not giving out awards until the conclusion of F3A keeps warm bodies present to use as F3A judges.

I don't understand that logic at all. Shortening the time and increasing finalists does nothing to increase the prestige of the Nats. The Nats is about picking a National Champion in each of the classes competing.

Many of the issues are greatly complicated with reduced participation. But I see what is being planned as only continuing the reduction, at least in Masters. You might want to consider why, with there being so many more masters pilots in the country, that currently there are fewer of them entered then in F3A? Maybe the year no Finals was flown in Masters turned a lot off?

Part of this exploration has been to look to the successes of the past to help pave the way for future success. One successful venture from the past was providing a National event as a traveling competition that allows people from all reaches of the country to reasonably participate. This allows the Nats to be more than just another competition, but an opportunity to see new folks participate, enjoy different areas of the country and bring the family along to make it a fun adventure. Remember those days of traveling to Lake Charles, Lincoln, or Westover AFB? These were trips that offered more than just a location to fly our planes. </span><o:p></o:p></p></div></div><div id="ox-8c89a8e993-yui_3_16_0_1_1497028966523_1190614"><div id="ox-8c89a8e993-yui_3_16_0_1_1497028966523_1190615"><div style='margin-bottom:6.75pt;background-image:initial;background-attachment:initial;background-origin: initial;background-clip: initial;background-position:initial initial;background-repeat:initial initial'><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-size:7.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black'> </span><o:p></o:p></p></div></div></div><div id="ox-8c89a8e993-yui_3_16_0_1_1497028966523_1190617"><div id="ox-8c89a8e993-yui_3_16_0_1_1497028966523_1190618"><p class=ox-8c89a8e993-msonormal style='margin-bottom:6.75pt;background:white'><span style='font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black'>Much of the motivation in making adjustments to the NSRCA and the Nats has been driven by changing the direction of the strategies of the past that have resulted in less passionate participation in our sport. We were presented an opportunity to change the status quo and make the Nats a traveling competition once again. Mike Harrison stepped up to offer a choice for our future competition format. He has worked tirelessly with Al Glenn to bring back that special quality that seems to have been missing from the Nats in recent memory. Both Mike and Al have championed making this change of venue a premier event and I look forward to seeing as many of you there that are able to make the journey.
