    Future NAMBA FE Nationals

    We've had a really good run of clubs stepping up to the plate each year to host the Nat's. Just a quick re-cap of past Nat's locations:

    2007-Washington
    2008-Nor California
    2009-Michigan
    2010-Colorado
    2011-Florida
    2012-Los Angeles
    2013-Nor California
    2014-Michigan
    2015-Colorado
    2016-Washington

    Thanks to those clubs that have hosted previously, and especially Michigan for consistently being there for our hobby every 5 years.

    Please remember that it takes clubs/members to step up to the plate and bid for a Nat's. If you're ready, the bidding process is simple. Get in contact with your District Director and express your desire. That's it. The rest will fall into place. It wouldn't hurt to notify me (or my replacement) as well. We can help advocate your desire as well as provide useful information to assist in your quest! It would be nice to see another strong mid-west venue, as well as more east coast options.

    if you have any questions, please let me know.

    Thanks,

    David

    Nice post David, IMO. It's hard to just step away from the sport isn't it? Miss seeing you at the races. I have a 1/10th scale you can TRY and drive when you want.

        Dave if a NATS shows up in your area you better come out. Heckle or what ever.

        The boys from the west coast have been pretty consistent hosts too.

        2002 Washington
        2003 California
        2004 Florida
        2005 Michigan
        2006 Jersey

        That's as far back as I can remember. There was a year it went to Alaska too. 2001 maybe? Back then I would read about a NATS and think "those people are crazy". bahaha Now I are one of those crazies.

        Guys, if at some point you're club feels it might be ready, contact one of these previous hosts. There is a wealth of knowledge out there. Even the clubs that have done it before still contact each other and compare notes. Washington has hosted multiple big events and still we were discussing hiccups that we've experienced prior to their announcement. Anything to make it smoother next time.

        You can also talk to likely racers. Guys that have been to races all over are usually keen to share those experiences. The usual suspects are very interested in a successful event. They want it to be successful for you, for themselves, and for the hobby at large.

                I remember 2005. Wow, was I blown away at the names that showed up that year. I remember I was in far better shape 10 years ago... I even travelled by myself. Sucks getting older.
