RE: Baton Rouge Contest May 14-15
Actually this year is the 26th consecutive annual Roadrunner Classic in Albuquerque. It has been in mid-may for the seven years I have been in town and I applied for the sanction in January. We have been struggling to get participation from Texas for a number of years now. There may be very little choice for those around Houston but Dallas is 650 to Albuquerque and 430 to Baton Rouge. That difference is within reason to give the western part of the district a shot once in a while and a few have done so.
It would be a good idea if we work out these issues in the fall before submitting the dates to the AMA and NSRCA. We(CDs) have to work with local event schedules and host club preferences before even submitting a date for approval and I would prefer not to start that process over because of a later submission for the same dates.
