My opinion is the "National Organizations" are sanctioned, organized, regulated, and provide insurance.
That is something the (can we call them?) "non-sanctioned" groups fall short on...
Ron you and I at the BTLMRA meet last year discussed the importance of insurance and the lack of it at some "non-sanctioned" events...
I believe that was the comparison Bruce was trying to make... USLMRA and ARMA have major player insurance programs in place "for the racer".. most non-sanctioned events do not...
I don't care how "very safety conscience and very serious about the sport" a group is when some one cartwheels down the front stretch who is paying the bill...?? and it's gonna happen... George knows his "National Organization" has good insurance
because it was TESTED...
I happen to know from first hand experience that the USLMRA has excellent coverage as well
because I TESTED it personally last year I hope NO ONE gets them selves in the position to find out the non-sanctioned /independent or "whatever" organization they run with CAN'T PASS The TEST..!!!
Let's skip the "lables" and focus on the point...is that the kind of rsk you want to take...??
As much as I like racing I have to be able to go to work in the morning..
Let's be safe, smart and civil out there.....
