Are there any clubs out there? I bet there are, if you dont see your club listed, please email me!
Please keep in mind we're still finishing up the site, there are still a few rough edges here and there. Also keep in mind we are not asking for suggestions on what needs to be changed, etc. We're days away from the show, its time to polish and be ready!

Great site guys, and in so little time... excellent job!
I absolutely love the iconic graphics that have been placed across the top. Very nice and to the point, showing different levels of activity at all ages.
A few comments:

"Figure 9: The propellant grains are nearly gone and the motor exhausted. This does not mean that the rocket has stopped. If fact, the rocket is traveling at it highest velocity at motor burn-out and continues to climb (coast) for a considerable length of time. " "If fact" should be "In fact"

"How do I get started in rocketry?"
The whole article is written in first person perspective, which makes the whole site appear to be a one-man effort. Maybe this is intended... although I don't think you'd want a site advertised nationally (globally) like this to appear like a one-man band. If not, then the addition of a "by author so-and-so" under the title of this article would be enough to offset it without changing a single line of text in the article.

In my Internet Explorer (ver. 6) browser, the Tripoli logo is sitting on top of its' description of the club.
Also, I am curious why only NAR and TRIPOLI national organizations are listed? Did no others request listing officially?
-
formatting link
UROC is listed twice, obviously by mistake, as the first listing says, "Comments will be forwarded separately." Also their title should probably list that they are both NAR and TRIPOLI associated... but that may be the disgression of the Prez of that group (I have forwarded an email to him).

Under "Vendors by State", why are many vendors listed in BOLD, and others are not?

... speaks for itself... (What language is that, anyway?)
- Markedly missing, is huge suppliers like Estes, Quest, etc... but, I guess this is a function of those manufacturers requesting it... and they must think they don't need it, eh?
OVER ALL,
I'd say, "Great Site!" Looks like it will be a winner. I hope that an additional aspect of the site covers rocket construction basics and the like. But maybe that more than the main focus of the site, and could be a heading under the Rocket Websites page. Again, very nice, and easy to navigate!
The first 2 clubs are not in Arizona and NWARS has some annoying pop-ups. NEARA links to SOLAR which says South Louisiana. If that's a boarder area, good idea to list it for both states (but it doesn't boarder Arizona). SEARS 572 is listed twice, once as NAR section 5, once as NAR section 572.

Just a suggestion, for easier navigation, throw in a "back to top" link at the bottom of the long pages so it's not necessary to scroll back up, or even better, put a small navigation word bar at the bottom of each page corresponding to the links available at top-left.
why is their NO mention of either Estes,Quest or Custom rockets?
Why is there no information regarding regulation as to who regulates EX or Amateur rocketry?
Greg I have a pdf I can send you that shows which states have adopted the IFC whih ny default means the state has also adopted NFPA 1122/25/27.... or I can point you to the web site..

I would ahve liked to have seen a micromaxx next to a mini A next to a regular A, next to an estes DE next to some aerttech SU and reloads next to HIJKLMN motors ... but thats just me.. and small micromaxx rockets to a M size rocket next to kids and people for comparsion purposes....so they could see the scale that rocketry includes...
Greg in toto you have done a great job ..congrats.....

also for the Kentucky Bluegrass Rocketry Society listing you need to add an Http: before the URL....and add our section # as NAR 657
There's a little dot you have to find and drag to a location. It lets you pass through a wall, where you can see a credit for Robinett.
At the time, Atari programmers weren't permitted to take credit for the games they wrote. This guy deserved the credit - he only had 4k to work with.
You'd have to have programmed in the 70s and early 80s to understand what this meant. I know modern programmers who have never heard of "code optimization" and don't understand the need for it when you explain it to them. (That must explain the software I own that claims it runs best on a 4 gigahertz machine.)
Imagine altimeter-based 2-stage deployment and a hybrid motor in a 1:1 Estes Alpha and you might have the idea.
I did not realize that was the first console Easter Egg:
formatting link
Still, anyone that had the Atari 2600 console had Adventure, and most of us found the Easter Egg (usually through the help of a bulletin board on a TOPS-20 computer).
Some day I have to take the 2600 out of the garage and fire up Adventure, if only to show my nieces and nephews.
