My turn to upset some people.

No where in the AMA safety code does it state the regulations only apply at chartered clubs or sanctioned events. If you accept the membership and the benefits is offers (say good bye to most model field in the US with out the AMA) you accept its regulations. Regardless of where you do it in the US, violating the regulations is violating the regulations.

The notion that you can do as you wish at a “non AMA” site, if you are an AMA member is BS. If you have a major accident and lawyers start looking for who all they can get money from, you can bet they will go after the AMA. You cannot choose who they sue! If you do have the accident without the waiver they might get out with only paying tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees, if a Judge and/or Jury decide that way, but it is not up to you.

If you are honest with the IRS and your spouse, why not be honest with the AMA?

P.S. I do not care what engine someone puts on their model, just operate within the regulations.
