NSL 1997 New location and date
Rocketwrks
The National Association of Rocketry announces a shift in the date and
location
of its 1997 National Sport Launch from Memorial Day weekend in Dallas, TX,
to
4th of July weekend in Geneseo, NY, the site of NARAM-37. The
already-scheduled
NYPOWER International high-power rocket launch co-hosted by Tripoli
Western NY
and the MARS NAR Section has been designated as the 1997 NAR National
Sport
Launch.
The shift in NSL was necessary because the DARS Section, hosts of the
originally-planned event, lost use of their primary field several weeks
ago and
were just denied a waiver by the FAA for the replacement field that they
had
secured. I would like to thank DARS and the previous NSL Director, Scott
Hunsicker, for all the work that they have done to date on NSL and express
my
regrets that matters beyond their control have forced them to have to give
up
what would have been a fine event.
The new NSL will be held at the huge open field and airstrip of the
National
Warplane Museum in Geneseo, NY, on July 4-6, with flying 9 AM - 5 PM each
day.
This event has been scheduled for some time already as NYPOWER
International,
and I very much appreciate the willingness of the host section and
prefecture to
take on the added responsibilities of the NAR NSL on short notice. More
information on the event will be posted here by the event directors, and
can
also be found on their web page:

Those that want to camp in nearby (20 miles or so) Letchworth State Park
call 1-800-456-CAMP to reserve a campsite. There are a few sites left for
the NSL weekend.
