OK, Lou, you've answered my question. Super 70 will affect the number of entries in Classic at your meet. The people who fear that Super 70 will compete with Classic are correct. If I were to show up at your contest wanting to fly both, I wouldn't be able to. Thanks for clearing that up.

You've got a clear case of confrontation and it's understandable why people would argue about that. I suppose the contest management had to keep the event list totals down in order to make the entire contest do'able by the manpower available. It is what it is. Hopefully, other contests won't have that problem and the stunt world won't have to decide which of the two events should survive at meets.



Rock,

You could see a couple of guys bring one or the other.

However, at a lot of contests you find some guys flying in a PAMPA event with a Banshee, Twister, Super Chipmunk, Stiletto, Genesis, Derringer, etc that cannot enter Classic as these designs are after 1969 and these entries would be in addition to Classic, not instead of. Too many guys want to see Hunt F-105's and Macaluso F-14's than want to keep this from happening!
I think it'll be a few more, and a few less, but the argument for and against I think is more about how to do it, rather than whether to do it or not.

Thanks for the comments.
