true also. But would we have a finals sequence or just fly the same
sequence?</FONT></DIV>

consider 20% what makes Intermediate and Advanced any different from Masters
and FAI unless you are saying that the Masters and FAI classes will only
include 20% in the finals next year.<BR></FONT></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>That's
exactly what I am saying. If I have my way, it will be written in the
NSRCA-approved plan for next years Nats that 20% of the entrants in a class
(rounded up) will be in the finals, no matter how long and hard the entrants
lobby for more. A five-hour+ finals is way too long. Some people
have argued that we should conduct our Nats as close to the F3A Sporting Code
as is reasonable. If 20% in the finals is enough for the Sporting Code,
it's enough for our Nats.<BR><BR>Ron<BR><BR></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
