    Which appears to be on the increase , not naming names but it happened three times this year that I'm aware , one time in particular was bad at Hampton Downs , where experienced stewards were abused.

    Ok a steward or official may get stuff wrong , and that has always happened and will always happen. But they don't need to take the abuse. In the case in Auckland it was totally uncalled for.
    Riders have always got a proceedure to follow with regarding disputes , this does not give them the right to abuse the unpaid officials or organisers.
    here here i say

    I raised the issue about rider conduct early on in nats this year on here. Even as a rider i thought the attitudes of some racers was piss poor. Unfortunately it created a combative nature with certain officials (which is completely understandable) that remained through nats and when officials actually made errors we weren't listened to.

    anyway back to your bickering its certainly entertaining. Who needs desperate housewives when we have scrivvy.......

    I do think however it is pulling one incident out of a pool of many problems and slapping a 'red flag' on it as more important than other problems. The whole issue needs to be addressed, slashed out, possibly agreed to disagree and both riders and officials need to somehow put the shit behind us and work towards ensuring that this path is never begun to be trampled down again. It has to never be seen as 'us and them' if we are ever going to move forward.
    Mate that is just one example , I agree disagreements are ok and if a rider has a problem arguments are fine, but then there is no need for atitudes. Be grown up about it and remember this is not Moto GP etc it is NZ and we suppose to be in for the fun and enjoyment.

    Pete I can just see Gary and Steve calling you a c**T (Not) and remember it's your job , not an unpaid position. On the other hand I could see Barry doing it or John and Mark in the old days LOL

    The blame doesn't lay with you Drew - IF the blame lays with anyone - it's me that said you can't use the chair. If anyone is giving you grief, give them my number and they can have a go at me - not you.

    It sure was, one of the competitors suffers serious memory loss, it seems he cant remember when he's in a relationship & another took too many drugs as a youth.

    Hi again, sorry cant remember all the questions, as this thread has jumped about 5 pages since last on. I am not going to go down the same track as Jim & start bad mouthing him as he is doing to me, all I can say is I know the real facts on why I didnt do the nationals for the last 2 years. On the subject of the abuse on officals, not just at the Hampton round but any meeting, the rider should be fined & get like a yellow card, abuse another time in season & you are out for season. If a soccer/ rugby player cant keep their cool they get sinbinned or worse. Chris

    It actually lays with the people that gave 15 competitors a limp dick about the whole thing a year earlier & as a result couldnt be arsed with the bullshit.
    Both of you guys are fresh faced & innocent.

    This attitude of 'we are volunteers we can do whatever the fuck we want' is bullshit. I can understand the riders frustration at HDs, how come officials just make up rules? We tried to ask flag mashalls to look at the track at Invercargill and apparently they dont have to cause they are volunteers says the steward.
