Donuts? I thought K@B was more like Krap in a Bun’. Biggest pile I’ve seen in modeling history. Collectors?

The last two NAMBA Nationals and 2 of the most active NAMBA districts opporate in California, but go on.

On October 9, California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a law that will effectively ban the sale of gas-powered small off-road engines (SORE) — spark-ignited engines rated at or below 25 hp — many of which are used in lawn and garden equipment such as mowers, as well as logging equipment, commercial utility equipment and specialty vehicles.

The bill, AB1346, authored by Assemblyman Marc Berman, directs the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to ban the sale of new small off-road engines used in equipment which includes generators, lawn equipment, and other small off-road engine equipment. Regulations are to be in place by Jan. 1, 2024, or as soon as regulators determine what is “feasible,” whichever date is later.

And this WACK JOB, Gavin Newsom may be the next Demacratic nomanee for president!
Lord help us all.

The people of CA are happy with this Ah because they voted him back in. How can you feel sorry for those people. That's why voters should take a test before they vote. Living in NY we have a Mayor that is just as bad, fortunately I live on LI where sane people and some politicians still live.

 

[Rick Sowell]

with all the election problems is anyone sure that the citizens are really voting these people in every time?

No ****!!@
I really find it hard to believe the majority of the population feel these jack wads are doing a good job for them.

the party controls the minds. they own every ounce of media, schools, childrens programming, culture, entertainment.

It does NOT take Einsteinian intellect to comprehend that liberalism is a mental disease. They're a Godless lot.

They've wrecked California, now they're moving to ritzy northern Michigan communities, like Traverse City, and wrecking that with their obtuse mental processes....you can't even call it 'thinking' at this point!

God bless them, and wake them up.

Im waiting for them to come back in and deny its happening.... "you crazy right wing conspiracy theorists"

How did all this BS get started? I'm sure MECOA doesn't collect gasoline powered engines. They've done their best to buy out bankrupt NITRO engine companies and put together the remaining parts into a few functioning engines. With K&B they even made a few new parts. Randy's main interest is the collecting end of the model engine hobby. What happened to all of you who once said they would never run those smelly gasoline powered boats?

I bet I can write a letter to the czar and get nitro banned too. Lets try it. we will get NAMBA shut down in the peoples republic once they hear about the amount of nitro methane leaking into the water.

Personally, I've always had good fortune in dealing with Randy...good place to look into when hunting for obscure parts.

As far as 'bs'....it IS reality, but agreed, political content should be discussed in 'Off Topic' section....has nothing to do with MECOA.
