The amount of money they give to clubs for improvements, land acquisition and scholarships is a mere pittance in comparison.

Okay, just for sake of argument, let me ask you this:
If the powers that be built a site, say in the Portland area, including traditional and/ or indoor quad facilities, would you spend the four or five hours driving from B'ham to that location just to go flying at an AMA run location?
