The MMM Club of Colorado of has been interested in pursuing sponsorship of a World Cup contest for some time.  Following is a list of benefits to consider:

• ·         World class field – 40 sq miles (26,000 acres) of gently rolling hills with unlimited motorcycle chasing in every direction.
• ·         Trees very sparse with the nearest being over a mile from launch area.
• ·         No lakes/ponds within a 3.4 mile radius.
• ·         No crops within 5 mile radius.
• ·         Shortgrass prairie pastureland with sparse grass—very seldom above shin high.
• ·         Flight direction 360 degrees from launch area (no need to move flight line to different parts of the field).
• ·         On site camping for tents and RVs with clean porta-potty.
• ·         Ideal Summer climate in Colorado: lows in 50s-60s, highs in mid 80s. Rarely over 90 and humidity averages 30-50%.
• ·         Long periods of rainy weather are practically nonexistent in Colorado.
• ·         Active club to support and staff the event.
• ·         31 year history of running an FAI focused contest (MMM 14-Rounder “Toughest FAI Contest in America”).
• ·         20 minutes from lodging options and many restaurants. Excellent suite lodging for $49/night for 2 people.
• ·         25 minutes from a major international airport.
• ·         Close Denver shopping (30-45 minutes) and major Rocky Mountain resorts and attractions (1-2 hours).

Just an observation

While I try and be unbiased ... it seems like you have a tough sell Mr Markcos, somehow 40 square miles in Colorado in the summer seems a little more inviting than a frozen lake in Wisconsin, pseudo Norwegian or not ...
