District 4/D5 Shoot Out
The AMA Flying Site, in Muncie, IN, is the home of the annual NSRCA District 4/District 5 Shoot Out which will be held on June 9 and 10th. The event provides the opportunity to prepare for the AMA Pattern NATS as well as a little cross District rivalry between D4 and D5. Each District has an informal Team Captain to organize and motivate their respective pilots for the ultimate prize...the Traveling Cup.
The Traveling Cup/Trophy is given to the District who has the highest score as determined by number of pilots, by class and final placement. The 2006 event was rained out, yet District 5 emerged as the victor based on the "tie breaker", most pilots entered.
District 5 takes this event very, very seriously
with the inspiration of Mickey "The Gun" Lasardo (see photo below), Robert "You're Going to the Shoot-Out, RIGHT!) Satalino and Mike Mueller. The rules, regarding which District a pilot is from or representing are somewhat unclear and fuzzy...but...
Based on the fact that Troy Newman was living in Wisconsin the last (4) days, he has earned a "temporary residence" status, has completed the appropriate paperwork, the paperwork has been signed by Mr. Lasardo and Mr. Satalino and WILL FLY FOR DISTRICT 5 FOR THE SHOOT OUT!!!!
District 5 is pleased to take advantage of this obscure rule and looks forward to retaining the Traveling Cup/Trophy!
See you on Friday....
