All,
It is that time again...And I am bit behind!!
The rotating schedule has this cycle being on the West coast. I will be accepting bids for the 2022 NMPRA Q40 Championship until January 1st, 2023. At that point, the NMPRA board will review each bid and vote to select the site. If you have any questions, please get with me.
At this point, only West coast venues should submit bids. If no bids are received, I will make the decision on where to go from there.
I will post the selected site here on the forum.

Pilots will be shuttled back and forth to the starting line. If you are not on the shuttle once it leaves the final staging area you are out of that heat.
You will not be able to chase the shuttle or walk out to the line.
We will also have a 4-wheeler with a driver that will retrieve planes that have landed either short or long.
We have a lot of flying to get in, so we appreciate everyone’s cooperation in keeping things moving.

After the Sunday racing and flyoffs we will be presenting trophies, cash prizes and drawing give away. It would be best not to plan any Sunday afternoon flights.

Would like a tent space. It is hard for those of us coming from the East Coast to bring a tent.
