Alright Steve, I'll take on the challenge.
Here's a new thread, as we have hijacked the last one quite enough.
Ask your questions. I'll do my best to answer them. Honest.

I myself look forward to seeing a good discussion on this topic without any personal attacks or any other garbage that will otherwise render it
useless.
I have yet to actually be in an organized race and can't say one way or the other on why one is better than the other. One thing that I do understand
is that when the organizing body of NAPKRA formed, it was to be able to provide a means to compete in the global arena. So it made it most logical to
use the same rules that the other major events around the world are using. Makes sense to me anyway. It would be a great disadvantage to race one
way and then when up against the big dogs, learn an entirely different set of rules.
The only other thing I would like to say before "the flag drops and we are off to the races" on this topic is I couldn't agree more with what Kent has
stated. Let everybody and anybody run whatever rules they want to use. I'm sure there is something to gain by ANY kind of race, get together or
doodle(can be whatever you want it to be) that is held. As long as it's held in friendship and good sportsmanship.kitemaker4 - 2-6-2009 at 07:08 PM
