I hereby suggest that they be added to next year's Nat's.<BR>Site four is not being used on final's day and could be used for lower class finals.<BR>Having finals in the Intermediate and Advanced classes would in my opinion increase participation and also give the pilot who somehow had a bad day like Chip Hyde had this year a chance to come back and win.<BR>I know this would increase the staff work load but we are NSRCA members to and deserve equal treatment even though we have not progressed enough in our flying skills to qualify as Masters pilots.<BR>I would like to hear responses Pro and Con on this subject.<BR>Buddy Brammer </FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></FONT></BODY></HTML>
