Floyd Anglino, EX AMA 444159, I don't think I have it all wrong. You have been AMA well long enough to know the ropes. As an avid pylon racer, you've been around the block, and now you just want to stir the stink. In addition you well know that if you join in June, you will get a credit for NEXT YEAR IF YOU REJOIN FOR THE FULL YEAR NEXT YEAR. YOU KNOW THAT BUT YOU DON'T WANT TO DO THAT SO YOU WHINE. YEP, YOU ARE RIGHT-- THERE IS ONE BAD APPLE IN THE CROWD!!!! YOU CAN FIND HIM IN THE MIRRIOR.

Nah, that's not really true. A good racer can't really be a bad apple, just a bruised one every so often. I sure loved it when I lived in Chicago-Land. Have some Boat fun and maybe we'll see you around next year, except I'm hankering to do as another well known Pylon Racer, Richard Oliver, did a few years ago, and return to Control Line Stunt and in my case Stunt and Scale.

Edited to add: BUDMAN: Would you want to be a Chartered Club Secretary / Officer and have to each day check to see just who may have an expired AMA license and just who has to be chased down to see if they are current with AMA?
AMA hdqtrs. would love it if they could be as you propose. The computer could just spit out the renewals and save much clerical labor in the renewal phases of the year.
However the clubs would be sinking because those club officers are just modelers that devote a lot of their modeling time to keeping a club running and thus they seldom get to do all the things that those that just show up to fly -- and do nothing else -- get to do. If you want all those goodies/events these officers provide, then do not try to load the club officers with even more administrative work just to satisfy your convenience even more. That goes for all of you that just "WANT to FLY".
