Perry was 10 hours for me.......... Perry is gone and done,,,,,,,and i was not in favor of a yearly national in Perry either. I am not in favor of Daytona or Florida and never have been for a national!! In fact what i am in favor of is rotation to major hub areas.................where the same people aren't getting screwed over consistently...........where people can fly without having to endure great lengthy trips and connections and aircraft that can't handle a #500 kennel. When i start hearing others besides those who live centrally and those who are trying to gain favortism with the voters for their campaigning, then i will believe a central location is whats best for our national. Again it is easy for you to say living conveniently right there...........ask the Californians and North West people or NorthEast and SouthEast people how they feel ...........or aren't they in your all so important circles ? You talk about entries dwindling well could you afford to lose all the Californians, Northwesterners, South Easterners and North Easterners ?? You will make a consistent hardship for these people and their dogs, 4 more extra days of driving and that much more time of missed work and motels and eating out..... It is not fair for these people to have to endure this while you all are so comfy having it in your back yards.......
