[NSRCA-dist8] N Idaho Contest

[Patrick Harris]

Jim,

The field looks like it would be exceptional for Pattern, IMAC had a
contest there last year and plan to come back in 2014. My challenge is
distance for most D8 flyers. For most it is going to be at least 6 to 10
hours driving time. I would certainly support it, but I think we would be
hard pressed to get five to seven D8 guys to go.

Input guys?

Pat
