All USA NATC National Riders: There is a week left to send back your rider survey. If you have not filled it out, now is the time to do so and send it back. I sent out 200, received back 76. Next year riders will be able to fill out the survey on line immediately after the event, while it is still fresh in your mind. Thanks in advance Jim Watson

Martin: I think that would be a great idea, I spend way to many hours sending it out and tallying the results. All we need is someone smart enough to put it on line. Some way so the rider is the only one that can in-put his answers. I will try to make it happen. Jim.

The survey is for all the riders that rode any USA National in 2010. If you rode a National you could give your opinion on observers, loop, difficulty of sections, ect. All the riders should have received their survey in the mail a couple of weeks ago. I am just trying to get riders to return the survey. Jim

We are doing the NATC's Rider poll again this year. I have received only 70 from the 200 I sent out. So far a lot of intresting coments. If you have not sent yours back, there is still plenty of time. Thanks Jim Watson
