2013 West Florida Model boat club, Sarasota, FL

We had a couple of gas guys show up today and we let them run by themselves. Sorry Scott. I semi tried but couldn't really enforce members only. I told them it was a public lake and we couldn't stop them from running but they couldn't run with us. And then....
I kind of wish someone had shot video of their second run. That's when I took my little DF-33 P mono out and spanked both of them, HARD.

Nothing wrong with that. They can run with us as long as they pay the fee and like u already mentioned, we givem a spankin. As for gas , we would just have to tell them its not permitted. We don't meed gassers getting us in trouble as a club w the county.... but I'd think those chances are slim to none.

Trust me... I was ready to "stomp a mud hole" had it become an issue.

I can always count on you Chris

Hope you guys had fun. I sliced the sh(% out of my hand w/ ceramic tile today. And as always, it had to be within the forst 7 minutes on the job... right in the inside between my thumb and pointer finger. And that was the exciting part of the day........ About 12:30 I got to wondering how much fun you guys were having

Oops. I posted the video in the wrong thread. Probably just as well anyways. I didn't collect a fee (although Rich came up and gave us another $10.00 to run his Spartan). They had their own recovery vessel and other than the noise concern I would have no problems with them being there.
It is a public park and told them if they came back again it would be better to come back when we're not there unless they remember to have their NAMBA cards with them. Told them we run the 2nd and 4th Sundays, too. If they create a problem on their own, it should not be held against us since we're not affiliated with them.

[tiqueman]

Even w/ thier NAMBA cards, we dont wantt hem to become a habit. As you said in otehr words, 'we" as a club need to follow the county rules. And technically, if we are there, and they are running with us on the course, we are now affiliated... so, the a$$ kicking will have to take place other than on our course. Which kinda sux but.... damn rules
