OK what this comes down to is a pond that a club has gone to the trouble to get permission to run on by making shure that everybody that runs on it is either an IMPBA or NAMBA member. In order to do that all participants have to join said Club so that the President of the Club can at any time say, yes, So and so is a member and has the credentials and is insured under the agreement. Mark and all others, please join the club and when you have enough new members you can vote Bruce out and let anybody and everybody run boats there and loose the right to the pond. Then you will be back at square one and go find your own pond which is not easy. Believe me I've tried and it isn't easy.
My 2 cents.
Ya'll please stop bickering and build a club.
This is commical, I'm pass the point you guys keep bringing up - actually I was planning on getting my membership and paying bruce dues to run @ the lake, and it's also nice to see the the newb is always wrong and you guys just seem to be right in every case. I'm glad that I'm the only one w/ the attitude and everyone else coming towards me w/ some sort of a bitter opinion doesn't have an attitude. Quit thinking I think it's stupid to pay dues in any case, because you're wrong.....I just want help if I'm going to be joining the club just for the fact to run, I mean realistically, if I'm in a club that expects me to pay them for the facility and whatnot, I expect help @ the pond - ****, is it that hard to understand !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Congratulations on being the first person on this site to be a total ass to the new kid wanting to learn a thing or two.

Mark- OK, so we may not know you, but to say something like;
"I'm **** glad you're not around and hope to never meet you in the future (regardless of how most others think of you) because you'll definately get a piece of mind and it won't be pretty !!!!!!"
This is uncalled for. Your talking about someone who throughout his whole life has promoted the sport of model boating. Im not here to say Marty is right and your wrong, its that you didnt see the years and years Marty put in to that club and relentlessly rectifying their pond for good running. U may be new to this sport and we all love to help, but dont forget that nobody owes you anything. I mean come on, we are talking about Marty Davis here. Marty is to Indy, as Gary Preusse is to Chicago. When you put someone like that down, in almost a THREATENING way, not only are you going to be judged by them, but by the 100's if not 1000's of their freinds. Its Marty's opinion about something he worked for, and weather you like it or not, it holds more water than in my eyes than your opinion ever will. If you were a veteran racer and u met a newbie who needed help, im betting you would help them Mark T., but you would expect that newbie to be somewhat humble, not with an attitude such as yours. I just hope you know when and if you actually race, someone on here remembers your post, youll wonder why they may not be so humble to you. Marty Davis could probably care less if you have his respect Mark after what you said, but Marty, it only took me one heat (actually a run off) of B hydro against you at Lambs Farm about 8 years ago and you had my respect and always will.

So it's ok for him to put me down when I had an opinion in the first place that didn't directly involve him ??? :unsure:
