<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>

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.<BR>This would not be another class just another
set of awards to entice older guys to participate <BR>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?<BR>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!</FONT> </FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
