Yep and Yep.
So far from what I have seen listed (with the exception of it listed at the Winternats) they are using non Namba events at Namba clubs. As far as the listing for the Internats- someone from Orlando will have to answer that one.Yes they are their own organization.. They have their own membership, carry their own insurance and now have set up 8-10 races.. They completely run the events, entries are sent in to their web site, they collect all money, buy trophies and pay out prize money.. When they complete their entry form, I'm sure you will have the option with nitro classes also. Orlando or other sites that are holding races including NAMBA District III have nothing to do with these events.. They are just a site location that were chosen by the APRCRA..Yep and Yep.

Thanks Brian, what about their date scheduled at the Winternats ??Yes they are their own organization.. They have their own membership, carry their own insurance and now have set up 8-10 races..

They are showing 3 dates with locations TBA - schedule fluff ??? I personally dont have an issue with racing for $$ whats so differant than what we do now. It would be nice to offset some costs involved every now and again. Just my .02 - By no means am I endorsing the sanction here, but why would you have no interest??
Well....when they put the word "PRO" in it AND offer money how do you think people will react to what is percieved as a wrong call :unsure: I see racers yelling, screaming and having temper tantrums over a points race, imagine putting money into the equation
h34r: Also it looks like a sponsorship package is a must. If you want to hit "the circuit" there is no time for a job, (it says races last five days). I wonder if Visa and Mastercard will "UP" thier sponsorship with guys like me, (instead of loaning me the money maybe they will let me keep it). It will be interesting to see A couple more things to consider is will the hosting club make any money for providing a venue? Also can ANYONE sponsor a racer, (Enzyte, Trojan, Marlboro, Smith and Wesson, Larry Flint) etc, etc. The possiblilities are endless.
Maybe thats why Broward backed out, LOL- KIDDING guys.Well....when they put the word "PRO" in it AND offer money how do you think people will react to what is percieved as a wrong call :unsure: I see racers yelling, screaming and having temper tantrums over a points race, imagine putting money into the equation

Marty you need to stop by IMPBA.net & read the current Roostertail. There is a proposal for a minor re-wording of the amatuer rule up for discussion & will go out for member vote in December.
I am sure there was a reason.
Not what you think. If IMPBA members want to try this out I see no reason they shouldn't be able to. It's on someone else's dime & insurance so it's not a big deal. I actually have mixed feelings on this as over the years I've seen $400 radios get thrown in the lake, boats get thrown, kicked, jumped on or purposely put under truck tires & driven over, not to mention the countless times of 2 people ready to go fist to cuffs over a $10 plaque. Now we are talking about a $750 first place & $4000 high points? Personally, I see the fun, friendliness & camaraderie that makes these races worth going to heading right into the pooper but that's just my opinion and I hope I'm wrong..........I am sure there was a reason.
