Schedules Old Geezer's

[Tony Stillman]

My home club hosted our NSRCA Dist 3 champs this year.  We elected to add trophies for classes that had "senior" pilots.  This year, we only had two, Ron Van Putte in Masters and Nat Penton in FAI.  Both received awards.  

It is simple to do, and I hope that other contests will follow suit.  If you do the "Picture" awards as most clubs do now, it only costs a few bucks for the extra plaques.

  Nope also 
  I know several old geezers who may attend the Nat's but won't. They are competitors but when they fly against the likes of Chip, Troy, Jim, Andrew and the rest of the top seeded pilots they opt-out. knowing full well that they cannot compete with the top pilots in their class.
  This would not be another class just another set of awards to entice older guys to participate  
  Nat's participation has been dropping for the last few years and if something as simple as this gives more of the senior members a reason to attend then why not try it?
  Yes, Ron I am an Old Geezer too and will attend the Nat's every year as long as I am physically and financially able as I have for the past eight years but there are some out there that won't subject themselves to the cost of going to an event when they have no chance of winning, Nothing ventured nothing gained!
