NSRCA TEST Website

Just a couple items:  The D2 northern judging clinic will be held on March 26th. For everyone in the northern portion of the district this is the one to attend.  Don and Chris put on a great class and I expect there will be a good question answer session along with the class. Because the date is later this year we hope to have a good day allowing some flying to test our judging skills after the class room event.  I'll post times and location once all has been confirmed.
On another note I recently received a listing of all D2 pilots who have not renewed their NSRCA membership.  Guys you are making me look bad. I  Need your help! Please make sure to send in your NSRCA dues. Remember those district points don't count unless your a member prior to the contest. If your not sure of your status give me a call or send an email.
I am now in the process of getting together a contest to be held in September.  Looks like the 3rd weekend.  The  flying site is on a 320 acre parcel of land.  There are two runways allowing no sun issues.  The club allows campers, has electric power, shade and an air-conditioned club house.  The club will do the catering and help us with field support.  My question to the membership is how would everyone feel if I petition this contest to be the district finals?  Another idea as been suggested that this be an east coast championship.  Location is in Fredricksburg, VA. one mile off  interstate 95 with plenty of motels and places to eat.  The club has standing discounted rates with motels in the area for events such as this. I would really like to hear from everyone on this!!!!
By the way I'm working sponsorship for this contest.  More to come.
I'll be adding more information as I receive it.  Keep watching the D2 home page!

 For all the CD's in District 2 please enter your 2011 contests into the NSRCA schedule. There are several new events/contest out there D2 is involved in. I want to make sure we don't schedule over another event.  Late last year there were I believe 2 new contest mentioned. If possible please go ahead and schedule your dates even if your still not sure. We can always cancel.  Marvin if you think Lake City will have us again that would be great as a NATS primer.
Everyone,  we have been challenged this year by not just one district but two. D1 and D3 have extended challenges to us.  When will they ever learn. Looks like everyone in D2 better get ready for a great year of flying.  Remember to grow Pattern we must attend the events.  This is truely a good sign! We are seeing more contests and more involvement. Dates have now been confirmed for the D2-D3 challenge.  Dates are the 14th and 15th of May.  Because May is going to be very busy I may move the Spring FARM contest this year. More to come on that.
Don't be afraid to send me pictures or articles.  That K-Factor article is very hard to write without your help.  If nothing else suggest a topic. Both Dick and myself are running out of subjects. Winter is tough to cover!

See everyone at Buff and Marvin's contest! I'll be retired by then so I will have more time to practice-I sure hope it helps!

I'm sure by now everyone is in the middle of building the newest weapon of choice for the 2011 pattern season.  Let me know what is going on out there.  If you have any questions or your not sure of something that is new let me know. I'll put it on the site to see if we can get some answers.
I was contacted by Archie in D1 again asking if Fathers Day Weekend will again work for the D1-D2 Shoot out. Seems D1 wants to even up the score.  If I don't hear from anyone I will assume Father's Day Weekend will be the date.
Don't forget the judging clinic that is scheduled in conjunction with the Spring Winston Salem Contest.  A seperate clinic will be scheduled for the northern portion of the district.  I'll post that date as soon as I have it.
Weather here in Virginia is cold. Too cold to practice.  I hope weather in the south is not too much better.  I need all the help I can get!

Can't wait for spring and retirement in March!  Then I can really practice!
