OK...Here is an additional variable that I wish to add for the members to consider:

Roton Point hosting the 2011 USF16 Nationals during the same dates currently scheduled for WRSC.

Here are my thoughts:
- Roton Point is anxious to host the USF16 Nationals and help promote F16s in New England. By September, 2011, there should be a greater F16 presence in NE and the momentum of having the USF16 Nationals will only add to it! The proposed dates coincide with their annual event. They are rehearsed with supporting multihull events.

- Dovetails well with the F18 Nationals, placing dual teams and manufacturers much closerer to both venues, approx 4 hours driving distance.

- WRSC will host the 2013 USF16 Nationals (North year), maybe even coordinating as part of Annapolis Race Week (Labor Day Weekend) and leverage the real time footage, protest committee (as though we need one), festivities, and swag.

- StABYC members have voiced their desire to host the 2012 USF16 Nationals (South Year).

Essentially, we will have 2011, 2012, & 2013 on the books!!!



Sorry Kris, I didn't read this. I am all for this! 4 hrs would be F-ing awesome compared to ~12 hrs and the next day being fueled entirely by Red Bull and methamphetamine, (not a good combo btw, make's ya kinda twitchy).

BTW- Is there supposed to be a mass email sent out to vote back on? I really don't feel like setting up a google account. I need another online ID like I need a 2nd assho1e.

(edit)- nevermind, went back and read the thread on the class forum where you already answered that for me.
