Stick, I wasn't talking about the Nats, different conversation. I was talking about declining AMA membership and what to do about it.

About the Nats location......you will always have your "pros" and your heavy-hitters who don't care where it is held. These folks make up a huge chunk of the highest ranking competition. The next tier are your regional heroes who could not afford the time and cost to travel 1500 miles to make the show. Some categories of competition require a big effort to ship all the equipment, personally I'm only going to travel as far as I could drive in a day with my gear in tow. I think many other flyers fall into this category. The attendance at Muncie will drop off if there is a lack of local heroes to root for. It will also drop off if and when the regional spectators cop a "been there, done that" attitude about the show. I would like to see it come to the Tri-Cities again, then I'll be there.......as well as many other AMA members from this region.
