I would like to address the intimidation factor as it applies to new
racing pilots,ie new XC pilots who have not raced yet.

Very few pilots are being held back from entering their first contest
by not being competitive. At least not the pilots who I fly with.

They could care less about winning. They are intimidated about flying
long tasks, they don't own a GPS logger yet, they are worried about
gaggles, final glides, land-outs and complex rules.

A question, would you propose an additional club class at regionals or
a single club class national ?
