Philip-
Note the following comment from the original post...I was building on
it. Such is show business! LT

.. Have only one or maybe two public days. Complete the GP competition
on the
Saturday and focus on the Sunday as a public marketing day. The public
don't
need to be aware the competition finished the day before. Do the GP
presentation on the Sunday with the public. Have competition pilots do
short
tasks or sprint races close to the field with the intent to entertain
the
crowd. Talk to a pilot while flying the task to explain tactics.
Interview
the pilots.
