MNZ board nominations

[The Chow]

Count me out on that little game. That's why I asked Chris a question and in due course you say Chris will come on here and answer. There' are too many second hand answers and hidden bits of info already.
As for Chris Lawrance; I have known him for well over twenty years and his old man for longer. There are few people his level dedication to their sport.
Chris was the driving force that saw 19 sidecars, 38 competitors, on the grid at Timaru about four years ago at the nationals.
Ringing around and either getting bikes and teams back out there or encouraging people to sell their bikes to those who would use them, if they had lost their enthusiasm.
I was proud to be commentating when he took his first national points win just two seasons ago, proud to follow his sojourn to the Isle of Man, to race and to live there, to satiate a life-long dream.
I was also proud to watch him race with just 14% of kidney function left intact, at the tri series 2 series ago.
The MNZ presidency is a huge job. I've no doubt Chris and his team will apply themselves we just need to know that he's got the right angle on it all.
Let's see his agenda and stop promoting him via slagging off other candidates, after all it is a sport.
Christ there's going to be enough of that later this year when the governments up for re-election.

Mate can only agree , I have known Frank(Dad) for longer than Chris and have no bitch with anyone who wishes to stand. By the way Spyda thanks for your help this year.

fixed that for ya.
I was asked years ago to put if i wanted my name put forward. Thanks but no thanks, I have an strong interest and views on some of the sport, others i have no time for and therefore couldn't do a balanced job across the board.

Never heard anyone accuse you of being "balanced" before Spyda - certain amount of unhingedness is a prerequisite for any unpaid voluntary position within MNZ

If Chris cant delagate jobs to people he can trust to free up his time for more important stuff, then he wouldnt make a very good president.
Id say his campaign already demonstrates a level of co operation & organisation rarely seen in racing circles.
Compare that to the one eyed, angry mis leading rants from Tucker. . . I mean Watchman.

Unlike some people who appear glued to this forum i have a life.
otherwise would have replied sooner.
unless there is any other way of taking the above i would say sidecar bob has publically stated Mr Tuckerman. the opponent of his preferred candidate is misrepresenting himself as me!!!!!!!
to do so is to impinge the professional {dont you love the impinge word had to look that up } and personal reputation of the President of MNZ.
I can categorically state ,i am not nor to the best of my knowledge have ever been Jim Tuckerman.either in this or any prievious life, and im fairly sure the above inference that i am stated in a public forum implies Mr Tuckerman is dishonest to do so.
To me this sums up the level that Chris Lawrences campaign helpers will sink to .
i unreservedly apologise to Jim Tuckerman if any thing i have said has given rise to this idea that he is me or i him .
i would expect the gentleman who stated this to make his own public apology .

[watchman]

Ahem.....where was KAWASAKI as a sponsor this year Watchman

this would be a question for the road race commission, probably a question of money, i would just like to state for anyone who hasnt read my last post .
in order to clear up a particularly nasty and definitely malicious post by sidecar bob in which he inferred i was said President i am not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re read my post, i didnt call you Mr Tuckerman, but unless you identify yourself, we will have to assume you lack a spine, & along with it any credibility.
I assume all users of this forum know who I am, & for those that dont, im Steve, or as the sidecar guys sometimes call me, Bob, Swinger for Scrivy & man servant of the lovley Tracey, rider of pink sidecar #28.
Oh, and can you explain why youre so angry with Chris please? You just seem to be angry ranty guy with no real reason.
If you care to explain, we may be prepared to embrace your point of view a little more readily.

Chris here to answer some of your questions.
Biggles, I do believe the Nationals need a revamp as the grids are poor at the moment, even though Ian has said they have grown a bit this season I still believe they are poor and there is still a recession on in this country and I just cant see next season being much different to this if we keep them the same.
I would like to get a pro active group together, not just top teams, and come up with a plan within a month after conference with what is going to happen next season so everyone has plenty of time to organise themselves.
As always I go with the majority vote, not just make the decisions myself.
I understand MX also has a problem with entries at Senior Nationals so we may have to try something there as well.

Oh yes, so definitely malicious.
Get over yourself ya dork.
Although, I would be pretty miffed if someone had called me that.
