[NSRCA-dist1] D1 at the NATs

Dave,
 
        The idea of meeting at Archie's  field in Ohio was a great idea.  
Originally it was presented to me that we  would all get together for some 
practice and help each other.  Every time I  went up to fly, everyone else was 
eating chicken. LOL  That location is 90  minutes out of my way, but a 
coaching situation would be worth the drive.
 
        We all know that having some  coaching is great, but most of us 
don't.  Perhaps picking a pre NATS  contest for NATS coaching would be better 
than trying to win your class.   We should still have a regular contest, but 
have someone other than judges watch  your flight and make suggestions.  A 
hand held tape recorder would be  excellent for this.  Since Conningham is 
the first contest for some of  us, perhaps Black Dirt.
 
Steve

Ok….just stirring the pot a  bit…..after talking with some guys after the 
NATs this  year. 
D1 has some good pilots and close  competition in multiple classes at 
multiple contests within the District.  However……many years at the NATs it seems 
D1 does not bring the “A”  game?  Why not?  How can we improve?  Different 
practice  routine at home?  Different practice routine at NATs?  Different  
mindset?  Anything we can do different at D1 contests, practice days,  
seminars, etc? 
Just stirring the pot, and looking  to bump up D1!!! 
Regards, 
Dave  Lockhart
