It'd be a good way to put a BIG target on your back, along with any family one may have...Remember, when you're running from something, you're running to something...-me

The fine print says, "only for non-contraband" items - not drugs. I mean, seriously, what 'non-contraband' items does the cartel deal in - washing machines made in MX, clothes, limes?"This may not matter to you, but it does to me for various reasons, many of them illogical or irrational, but the vinyl hobby is not really logical or rational..." - member on Vinyl Engine

Yeah, not really sure how that works.
I was just intrigued by the idea of modern day privateers. Made me chuckle and wonder at the same time.
A proxy war in the Caribbean fought by Privateers/Pirates in this day and age? Could you imagine?

Privateer??? Yours and mine differ from this reference. Anytime I entered a pro-card only race, I had to enter as a privateer......sadly, I didn't have the corporate sponsors that would enable me to enter as a factory rider.....

EXPERIENCE: next to nothing, but I sure enjoy audio and video MY OPINION OF THIS HOBBY: I may not be a smart man, but I know what quicksand is.
When I was young, I was Superman but now that old age has gotten the best of me I'm only Batman -
I am under no pretentions on what a privateer in this instance actually is.
I was perusing Gun Broker for cannons.
There are, sadly, there are surprisingly not many carronades available for purchase at this time.
Maybe if this comes to fruition, it will foster growth in the market.
