This would be for non-AMA events. If you are a competitor, or if a club has already allowed the AMA to decide who can and can't fly at their site through sanctioning...Well, I guess they'd have to decide if they'd be willing to open it up again with new insurance. Of course, the insurance would give the club the same coverage.

I posted the last question because it makes a point. We cannot fly in AMA events because they say we can't. There's no justification, they just won't let it happen. Is this a good way to promote the hobby? I wish more would think for a minute about this.

Anyway, yes, it would be for people and there clubs across the USA. Not for the AMA events. On the other hand, if the AMA clubs wanted to join us in sharing the fun of events...they could.

I don't think this company is too concerned about losing us. Underwriting a policy for us is nothing to them. We're just a little piece of a very big pie. The key is waiting for the new year and having interested people jump over at the right time. Between now and then it would be a good time to start promoting it.

Remember...A CLUB SHOULD HAVE THE SAME OPTION. They may not call it sanctioning but it would be liability insurance for events, and the club field. It just wouldn't be AMA.

There are very few clubs overall in which all members fly in an event. Events don't have to be AMA santioned either....unless the club doesn't have other insurance. There is no reason in the world why a club couldn't have a full fledged show with all the benefits of an AMA sanctioned club show. They just have to have the insurance to cover it. The vendors, the members and all the extras will come regardless. They don't care. They just want to have fun and be covered.
