@bbill, I understand that 100%. But we dont have the amenities to hold ANY events at our local club, so all Im saying is, we need to establish money within our club, ourselves it seems, to be able to host you and anyone esle. We cant professionally host anything as we stand. Thats why we need to work locally to get more members so that we can be more established and at that point, invite everyone (district racing) to come run w/ us. Ive been racing over 25 years, dont worry, I know how it works. 
Anyway, I dont see how we can charge anyone to come district racing at our facility, when all we have is pins and water. And Jim is telling us the same thing. We cant hold events. Its that simple. So as it seems, we all can go all over and pay to participate in other events, but we cannot hold events to raise money of our own. Make sense now????
As for the "why wont you come run with us" I have very little income at the moment, being in the Architecture and building field, work sux right now. I have to pinch every penny I spend. I can do whatever I can to help our club, but cant do the driving and fees to run at others at the time. Eventually, I will be all for it. But I also really enjoy running LSO and theres been no mention of it. Its easy and relatively in-expensive. And in my opinion extremely competitive. Im not a tunnel guy, and not really a hydro guy. I grew up watching offshore racing live out in the gulf and have been hooked since the first race back in the mid 80s. Offshore is where my hearts at and what I enjoy running. We dont even have a large LSO group w/ in our club. theres 2 of us, was a few more, but they have sold thier LSOs or just stopped running them. We are also in the works of getting a new class together w/ in our club. Basically an LSO set up, but times two. Twin class, spec motors and 4S. Should be a blast. As of now there are two of us, possibly threee and wanting more. I do run P-mono and starting a little LSH though as well.. and working on another Q boat, but the funds just arent there.. at least if I want to remain married.
Oh, and PS, just FYI Bill. And another reason I said reading is difficult and the "unknowns"..... I have 11 gas boats, 4 Nitros, 23 cars, 3 trucks, 3 helis, 2 planes etc etc.. Im very broad based and dont stick with running the same thing over and over again ever. Oh, and 13 FE boats (almost forgot), ranging from rinky dink 20mph to 80. So I do in fact "run all types"
And Bill, your more than welcome to come run w/ us anytime... we just have a lot to do and little to offer. But as I said earlier, we have a fantastic bunch of guys.
