Re: 2015 Nats - time to choose

I vote for Kibbie with a combined NATs and F1D team selection to increase
participation. I like the idea of having the contest at Colorado Springs,
but I think we need to support our only remaining open-access cat IV site.

I don't say that lightly either, as I live almost as far away from the
Kibbie Dome as one can, and still be in the lower 48.
