<DIV><FONT size=2>The sanction was not received at the appropriate desk at AMA
until the day before the contest. I believe it was returned unprocessed. I
announced this at the pilots meeting that we were unsure of the sanction status
but that we believed it to not be sanctioned. The consensus was at that time
that it was not the fault of the organizers and that we would proceed. If it was
a sanctioned contest in the records, the results are clear. If it was sanctioned
as a matter of record, the treatment is up to the decision makers. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Protest procedures are an area of the rules that need to be
"refreshed". As a frequent scorekeeper, I make the complete results at the end
of a contest known to all and expect any challenges to be made within a few
minutes. I try to keep the tear strips as orderly as possible and always make
them available on request. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>BTW, the trophy makers at AMA are on the ball. They made the
trophies in plenty of time! I guess the paper work is harder than the trophies
to handle. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>This is probably an appropriate place to note that we failed
to contain costs on this event by getting carried away with our spending.
Piedmont Models declined to allow the club to take the hit. I can assure you I
enjoyed my steak....</FONT></DIV>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I’ve been keeping the championship
standings for D1 this season, and I’ve received a report that the BARKS
contest, Oct 19. 2003 was not a properly sanctioned contest – and that the
results are therefore not to be considered in determining an NSRCA District
champion. . </SPAN></FONT></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I’d love to hear from a D2 (or
AMA) official whether or not the BARKS contest was a legal, AMA-sanctioned
contest – and therefore whether to count the results in our District
standings. </SPAN></FONT></P>
