Rip I did respond to the intial post on this subject on Jim's and stated exactly what Don had stated earlier on this post. I have made it a policy not to discuss IMPBA business on the forums since all it usually does is open the doors for the "forum fanantics" to go off on another tirade, which in turn hurts model boating in general by chasing away prospective new boaters.

I believe the amateur rule has been in the IMPBA rule book since almost day one. At that time IMPBA was about the only kid on the block. I think it was written to mean there would be no races for money in the IMPBA. Racing for money in another org. or industry should not be a problem. I don't believe the IMPBA could cancel a member's membership and go to court and make this rule stick if a person raced for money in another org. other than IMPBA. I think it will just be ignored and I think that is the best approach.
Bill Zuber, pres. of IMPBA, has made comments on this post but unlike Al Waters of NAMBA, he did not confirm the IMPBA stand on the issue. There was a BOD meeting at the IMPBA Nitro nats. and I'm sure this item was discussed. ????????
