<DIV>I can't speak for every NSRCA District, but in D-1 only AMA sanctioned contests count for championship points. Each pilot is permitted one out of District contest, pilot's choice as to which one, to count toward championship points. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As for changing requirements, if the contest is AMA sanctioned, then it may be counted no matter what changes the CD announces as long as there is previous, AMA accepted notice.</DIV>
<DIV>It is difficult for me to see what detrimental effect on championships allowing non-pattern planes to fly in Sportsman would have. Except maybe that we would finally have new and more competitors.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In D-1, we need all the new pattern fliers we can get. We are running two Primers this year just to get new pilots. Once we get them hooked, they are going to be allowed to fly their AMA legal, sport performance planes in any D-1 contest if I can arrange it. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I plan to work with all the CD's in my district to be sure they can. I would think that any other NSRCA District VP who cared about growing the sport would want to do the same.</DIV>
