MNZ/Club/Committee bashing: STOP IT!

[GSVR]

Good one Jimmy. Yourve been on and off this site long enough to know how it works (and doesn't).

Its brings out the worst in people at times.

[FROSTY:Me]

Trashy in essence I agree with you. Where I disagree is that although there is a lot of drivvel spoken occasionally a bloody great idea comes out of the darkness.
As an example I think that AMCC are looking at ways to upgrade their website.

There are some great ideas here. I am a knowbody as far as racing is concerned, I have a licence I race but I know very few of you or the pecking order (who has been around along time, knows whos who and what to do) etc. I have however picked up from this site that people like Red from triple r racing and others of his elke deserve respect. What I'm trying to convey is we need a riders association if we are serious as a group for our voice to be heard, and a spokes person that commands respect from organisations like MNZ. If a person could be found that would do it unpaid for a start would be even better but as a group we would need to join and financially contribute yearly to help with travel etc.

Outstanding post Ken.

Why isn't there a "Riders association" or at least a representative who constantly liaises with MNZ, gathers oppinion on proposals and acts as a go between? So simple.

[Tony.OK]

Call me simple, but isn't that what the road race comissioner is supposed to do? Or is that position not far enough removed from MNZ to be a true racers advocate?

WHY? because the riders did NOT want it

That may have changed due to what has been happening lately.

Shaun, I am getting a very strong feeling of "Fuck I have been here before"

Over the last 30 years the subject of a rider's representative has come up maybe ten times, each time everyone talks heaps but nothing happens.

The only group that has been successful at this, is the SIDECAR boys and they have their problems.

If you are truely interested in doing something, could I suggest you contact someone from the CAR group "The NZ Racing Drivers Club". They went down this road a few years back and formed a club with sections for each racing class of the time (Formula V, Formula Ford etc).

GOOD LUCK YOU WILL NEED IT

Well you know NZ racing better than most, but can you keep a cool head when it gets hot? We both know you can get a little aggitated mate.

'The smack on my head has cost me and taught me a lot mate.
This sport/game has been my life for the last 25 years, and I am going no where yet, I love it, and know it well, so if there is a way for me help in this game, I WILL DO what I MUST.

I am also sure that any CEO of any imported brand, would give me the time of day for meetings etc?
