If you're referring to me Billy, then yes I was distraught at Puke a few years back - who wasn't? Enough so, that I couldn't compete in the last race of the day. However, an accident is a little different from a perceived potential death.
I am all for reprimanding someone if they are out of line. No disputes there. But Billy, as you know. I'm not exactly on MNZ's Xmas list, so it does appear that every time I mention something on this thread, you jump in and attack me for it. Yet you agree with Drew that it may have been handled wrong? Isn't that what I've ben trying to say all along - but you have bagged me the whole time, to try and belittle me?? Is that a new MNZ trait?
Did MNZ follow the correct protocol?Ask them,Jim Tuckerman 021 725614 or if you dont want too talk to Jim,Peter Ramage(Chairman roadrace commission)0273580318,Nows good.Personally,I dont give a rats arse,Theyve dealt with a serious problem and that whats important too me first and foremost.
But you said you turned down a possible position with MNZ's new Commission due to their being a lack of common sense. So if you were on the commission -you still wouldn't give a rats arse?? You would have let your emotions override your common sense too, cause everyone else agreed? Is that unbiased?? If that's the mentality of our elected MNZ members, then our sport is fucked - you know it! As I have said alot of times now in this thread - proper due process was not followed. THAT IS WHAT I AM AGAINST. Slinging matches with MNZ officials is not what I am after - common sense is - even you alluded to that being necessary!
Finally(If anybodys still reading this)If I have become an Arsehole for defending MNZs decision,Then so be it,As long as it has potentially saved a life or serious injury,Im comfortable with that,Will the PC brigade be happy with yet another needless death,Just so little Johnnys feelings werent hurt???
