The "NATS NEWS" is available on line and has photos and results from ALL events.

JS Mouse : Ashley Wilk.
Open Mouse : Bill Lee.

Details vary by event, depending of how good a report the ED filed.  The Combat stuff by Wayne McDaniel is very complete and well-detailed.

Thanks Paul,

When I looked yesterday, either that had not posted them yet, or I was just blind.  Again, thanks for the information.

Thanks Guys,

I wish I could have been there.  Hope to make it next year.  I've got a lot of little Mouse Racers that really want to run again.  I need to get my Grandson's more interested so we can up the Jr/Sr numbers.  Paul G., any chance you will be coming to the NATS next year.  I would really like to race against you.  I don't think you were involved in Mouse in the 80's.

HI Wayne,

Although I wasn't there, one of my Streaker's was in the hands of Les Akre. Four in open mouse is a pretty low entry I think.
One attraction to fly at the Nats is to set a (AMA recognized) record. They didn't even have mouse heats this year, so one can't even do that anymore.
I would LOVE to race once again, especially against the Rockford mouse! (http://)In light that I've been to Muncie several times already, it no longer has much appeal for me. (especialy the very hot & humid weather) As well, descretionary money & available vacation time is becoming less.
SOoo, although I've been known to show up in the strangest of places on short notice, the Muncie Nats is no longer a priority for me. Which is a bit of a shame, as I've had some very good times there.
BTW, I've being involved in mouse racing all my life...but never ventured state side until Winston-Salem ~'82 or so.
