[NSRCA-dist1] D1 at the NATs

[John Pavlick]

Dave,
 If you ask me, the best way to "score" at the NAT's is to bring a horny chick (that's what I do). The next best thing (what YOU guys should do) is to go to some out of district contests and see how the other guys fly and score and see how you do against them on THEIR home turf. This can be fun AND it's a good excuse to drink beer. ROAD TRIP! I had a good time going to the Tangerine the year Kathy died. Maybe if more than 3 of us from District 1 went... 

Also, isn't there some really cool contest in D2 or D3 where they have fireworks vs.airplanes? Maybe some of us should go to that and represent D1. I'll actually dig my Patten planes and foamies out of temporary hibernation if some of you guys want to go. :)

BTW - I learned Ken V's technique for winning Masters last year and I must say I agree with it %110. In fact, I'm going to give it a try next year. VBG

  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.

    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!!!
