Shaun Harris and No entry to MNZ Club

[koba]

ok shaun.....

what do you think we should be doing?

how can I help?

Look at that!Good shit aj
This is the attitude that needs to be fostered rather than "blah blah someone else not good blah blah"

If we all start doing asmuch pro active work that people like shaun, ajturbo and oyster do for our sport surley that will further our position greatly?!

Also im not saying that others dont contribute, just that i know those named above do an just get on with it regardless, and put there hands up to help!

Thanks for your positive comments Koba. For the record I'm a right selfish bugger, and egotistical to boot. Anything I've done for the sport revolves around this.
Years ago, I saw a less than ideal landscape in the sport, especially for young people. So my ego kicked in, "I'll fix this" Of course I thought it would take a year or two, but 7 years later.... Seriously we're getting there.

And selfish? I sure am. I'm too slow and old to win anything, but imagine my satisfaction in being a team member that produced 6 out the top 10 in the 125GP championship this year, 2 out of the top 3 of Pro Twin junior.

Yep, for my time and effort I'm well rewarded.

I just want to encourage more people to try this also, it's often a long road, lots of patience needed. But seeing NZ's youngest ever RR champion cross the line gave me more satisfaction than I could ever imagine if I was sitting on the bike myself.

Come on, put aside a little of your own time and money to help someone else along. Not to mention a bit flag marshalling, Steward training, club admin and stuff.

Shaun,
Great thread!
I only help some of the guys doing the winter VIC series and found it hard to believe that there isn't a national full time promoter for this sport.

I can only wonder how things would change.... more TV coverage aids riders and sponsors alike, just look at the drift guys 2-3 years ago almost unheard of or seen... now have their own weekly slot on the telly.

Good luck guys hope whatever happens make this a better sport for all concerned.

Thanks also to all of the volunteers on race days! you guys help make it ALL happen!

Paul Pav was always on a hiding to nothing and there is no way in the world any MNZ CEO was going to keep even the majority,(let alone everyone) happy.

If you guys are slagging of Paul Pav, you can't have had much to do with the infamous Trev.
