Interest in a 20 Meter Multiseat Class National Contest for 2018?

The SSA Rules Committee would like to gauge pilot interest in attending a potential 20 Meter Multiseat Class National Competition if it were hosted at Mifflin in 2018. The Rules Committee has determined that we need to have at least 12 confirmed entries if we are to proceed. Furthermore, time is of the essence if we are to have a chance of making this contest happen. If you would be definitely interested in attending this new National Contest, please respond to this thread or email me at as soon as possible.

Sorry to hijack your thread Bif but what about announcing and listing on the SSA Racing Calendar the other 2018 contests? I know folks have submitted applications but nothing is on the calendar. Can you please shed some light on what is going on? If you do not know who should I be bugging?

Hi Ron, there is no contest yet. The purpose of this thread is to see if we have enough interest to proceed with trying to have a contest. We need at least 12 entries to commit to attending before we can proceed to the next steps of trying to make this contest happen.

I might add that if you are a pilot interested in attending a 2018 20M Multiseat National Contest in Mifflin, that you contact other potential entrants and have them respond so that we can achieve critical mass to justify putting this on.

Thanks,

I would love to attend in our DG-1000T. Would.consider putting a junior in the front seat for the event if he/she had enough ridge experience. I'd be in the back. 😃

I am not interested in contest and I do not believe it is in the best interest if the SSA Contest Rules Committee to have yet another class for a Nationals competition. IF this held will take away from folks that would participate in the 2018 Sports Nationals, which are typically dominate by Duo's and Arcus'es?

Oh wait we do not know when or where the 2018 Nationals are being held, how can we plan.

IMO class creep is bad for the competition scene with the SSA. What is next the folks asking for $$ to go to the World 20 Meter competition?
