In response to Ira, there are more organizations that require membership to participate than just the AMA. To race R/C boats in the US, you have to be a member of the APBA, IMPBA or NAMBA. To race top fuel or funny car, you have to be a member of the NHRA. These are just a few examples of organizations you must join to participate so it's not just the AMA and flying clubs that make membership a requirement.

Of course everyone is free to share their opinion, I myself am done with the disagreements that always follow comments about the AMA.
Speed, we may have a problem here. Twice in a thread we agree on something
