What's your basis for making that statement?

I am a part owner of an ASH-25, (2 -place) liceenced Experimental, Exhibition/
Racing.

From my Operating Limitations:

1. No person may operate this aircraft for other than the purpose of exhibition
/ air racing That lets out giving instruction.

14. No person may operate this aircraft for carrying persons or property for
compensation or hire. That lets out getting paid, but allows me to
give someone a free ride, but in my case, I would, of course, be practicing for
"Air Racing" and not just "sight-seeing"
