Mark,
If you do the 2-3 hr drives, looks like I'll be seeing you quite a bit this season.

The Montrose and Endicott contests were listed last year, and were NPS contests. I assume they will be again. I've noticed that a lot of the local contests don't show up early on the RCCA page for some reason. That was a big reason for me to create MidAtlanticCombat, to try to track down contests early and get them posted where people can see them. And to help CDs prevent scheduling conflicts.

I didn't hang on to the info on the guys from NJ, sorry. But, I know there are people in NJ and eastern PA who want to fly combat. There sure are a lot of RC clubs in that area as well, some of them _have_ to have some guys who'd want to do combat. (my in-laws are in Bethlehem, so I've talked to some clubs up that way to sport-fly at during visits, but I haven't actually done it yet).
