Anthony and Nitronemesis.
I am sorry that you are dissappointed but you guys are way off base here. Bruce Jacobs is the local club President and I am the District Director. If you wish to use water that Bruce has procured, paid for and insured and made MANY efforts to keep usable, then you should expect to play by our rules.
There was a serious accident at the lake last year and we almost lost use of it entirely. It had nothing to do with us, and yet we almost lost it. There is no chance that anyone not associated with the Club or IMPBA is going to jeapardize our site. I support Bruce totally and so does ALL of IMPBA. you will find the exact same answer from any club lake operator in any district in IMPBA or NAMBA, I suspect. We welcome new people always, but there are things called lawyers and lawsuits now, and noone can take risks without some liability plan. Please join IMPBA or NAMBA and come practice and race with us. You will be covered for liability and Bruce will be very happy to get new members in Indy. I hope this serves as an explanation and an offer to join a fun group of guys that can help you learn all you can about boat racing.
