NSRCA Website

The location and dates have been determined for this years District Two NSRCA Finals.  It was determined last season Winston Salem would be the location for the District Two Finals.  Dates for the contest are Oct 5th and 6th.  The Green Sea Fall contest will be moved to the 19th and 20th of October.  It should be noted because the Green Sea contest falls after the 2013 Finals in Winston Salem all points from the Green Sea contest will count toward the 2014 contest Season. Might be the contest to move up to that next class if your thinking about it.

On a another note the Culpeper Contest originally scheduled for June 22nd and 23rd has been changed to the month of August.  I will get those dates out as soon as I have them confirmed. (Buff you will be the 1st to know) I realize August is a warm month but we should all be use the weather after a week at the Nats.

Don't forget the D2-D3 challenge is coming up April 6th and 7th.  The ribs alone are worth the trip. Victor has several door prizes lined up for the contest and the new field is very nice.

March is just aground the corner and if all goes well we will see warmer temperatures.  Time to practice and attend a pattern Seminar.  Don Sczcur and Chris Moon have been thinking about just that.  March 30th will be the date for the District Two 2013 Pattern Seminar.  Time 9:00 until 2:30 with flying afterwards at the LCAA field.  Pattern Seminar will be held at the LCAA Meeting building.  (Same building as last year)  You will want to attent to make sure you are current for Masters and Advance Judging requirements.  Remember both have new sequences.  Sportsman and Intermediate have not changed.  We will also need to make arrangements for the Southern portion of the District.  Perhaps we can get together at the Winston contest.  More to follow.

The Culpepper contest dates have changed.  Currently I am looking at the month of August.  Due to a busy schedule by the CD (Me) the previous dates just will not work. I'll work with Buff so he can post the new dates.  Keep an eye on the D2 contest schedule. I am also looking into moving the Winston Salem contest to the last contest of the year.  Because it will the site of the District finals this year we really need to make sure point wise it is the last contest of the year.  More to follow.  I will make sure final dates are posted once confirmed.

Thats it for now, See you all in Green Sea.

The recent loss of life of so many children and adults saddens me at this time when we should have nothing but joy in our hearts.  I certainly hold my friends and family even closer.  With that said I appreciate each and every one of you out there in district 2. Your smiles and handshakes at each contest and gathering mean even more.

With winter setting in here in Virginia there is not much flying going on.  Several items are being discussed within NSRCA that in time will be brought forward to you the membership.  With the advent of ARC's and Arf's little building is going on, so I turn my time toward the organization of the 2013 contest season.  Below I have listed the contest that I know of for the next year.  Only one has an official santion/ date.  What I would like is for each CD responsible for the listed contest to send me your date or dates so we can get all of next years contest organized and in the calendar.  If we have schedule issues now is the time to get them fixed.  If anyone has a new contest and need to get their contest on the schedule let me know.  Larry Kauffman/ This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

District Two has had another great pattern year.  We have added another contest to the circuit, found a few more Sportsman pilots and did well at the Nats.  So how can next year be  better? Perhaps a few more flyers to add to District Two line -up or even more contest to attend?  It is up to us to find those new Sportsman pilots and as far as new contests it looks like they are coming to us.  I have been ask to CD another contest which will be held at the new Culpepper field in the Northern Va. area.  This field is a great site, no trees just open sky all around it.  Dates have not been set.  I believe we may have another couple of contest possibly in the southern portion of the district.  More to follow.

For those of you who did not make the Winston Salem contest the Sportsmanship of the year award was presented at the closing ceremonies.  Marvin Marozas was the recipient this year.  If you make Green Sea make sure you congratulate him.  Speaking of Green Sea, I expect a great turn out.  This is the last contest of the season and it is the District finals.  Masters and Advance pilots get the treat of flying a new sequence.  I've been out working on the new Advance sequence and find it to be a challenge.  I'm hearing the new Masters Sequence is a little easier than last years. Good luck to everyone. 

District Two is doing well, we have plenty of contest to attend, I'm not hearing too many conplaints and slowly but surely we are gaining pilots.  Yes, some of them are now taking that plunge of attending their first contest.  Oh! I can't forget about the D1/D2 Shootout- we did it again! D2 champs again!. Maybe next year we can scare D3...
