similar to what Jim is doing? to be honest, i do not blame the board for not answering questions on here,

alot of the questions surronding the road race nationals should really be asked to the comission, i do not believe the president should be in charge of the road race nationals, or the MX national, or trails, or cross country ones either,

in all seriousness this thread died long ago, with both sides of the Jim vs Chris sides point scoring off each other, its been like two school girls screaming at each other, neither listening,

and if you take choppa's poll thread, it is 37-47 at the moment, so there is not a huge portion of the 5500 licience holders here, so either candidate would be much better served going to a motorcycle race meeting than adding to the pointless drivel,

i just had to add this in hope of getting to 100 pages

Yip,

I get your point Scott,But I would hardly call the post you quoted as screaming,

The difference between Jim and Chris is I have offered Chris to answer these questions offline as well as on Facebook,If I was able too I would contact him directly at his email addy,As is available with Jim.

I agree re the commissioners running the individual disciplines,But the candidates must have some idea of how they see the sport progressing,Jim has answered my questions on facebook and there are other issues in the post as well they need clarifying

the thread I quoted was just the end, i was more referring to the banter (nice word) between you and Scrivy,

If you past history is anything to go by, I would suggest you only want to ask Chris questions so you can attempt to trip him up on a technicality, or dissagree with him.
His time would be better spent elsewhere, which it appears he has worked out for himself.
And Billy, I can personally assure you, I wil hold no position of power within the organisation & if you think Chris comes running to me to see what I think of things, you are seriously deluded.
As for my "destructive behaviour" within the sport?? Seroiusly, what the hell would you know about what I get up to? Maybe running three of my own outfits at the have a go day? Lending my classic outfit to a fellow competitor for a season because his was broken? forking out of my own funds for things that benifit the entire group? I dont know. Maybe you heard the same lie I was a party to about myself that popped up on an e mail a couple of days ago.
I have yet to deal with the inventor of that one, but it can wait until after the weekend

OK, that's it, Im voting for Mike Pero as President .....

**ashracer** · 29th April 2011, 21:16

Yes I was aware you had competed at the TT as I too am able to access "mylaps",
Im sure youve heard the expression "1 swallow does NOT make a summer"

Chris has actually done the TT 5 times, 96,99,2000, 2002,& 2003. Was also the 2002 IOM national sidecar champion (Over a 5 round series i think from memory) Has done the NZ nationals over 20 times, cemetery circuit 21 times, twice NZ sidecar champ, 3rd in NZ 125cc gp (about 91) He did a couple of seasons in F3, did a 6 hour endurance race at Nurburgring & an 8 hour at Magny Cour's on a 400 honda. He also did the australian sidecar championsip. You might say this counts for nothing as mnz president. But what you do learn over these years is what the competitors like from a race meeting. Bikes are meant to be fun remember. Kevin Swantz retired when he said the enjoyment had gone.
Chris biggest attribute over Jim. HONESTY.
(Thats my view by the way)

Hey Billy,

Hey, if ya wanna ask Chris some questions, come to the 'Have-a-go day' this Sunday at Taupo. Chris will be there to answer any questions you have.
He's also offered to take you for a ride free of charge!! Or I'll pay for you, 'cause I'm promoting the sport.
He promises he won't go unconcious on you.............................

Thats a great idea. Then Billy could see that the sidecar people do all get on incredibly well & have done for a long time. I first joined in 1987. Where he heard it is the 'Now disassociated" NZSCRA I can only guess. It is in fact a large group of paid up members, there friends, family's & sponsors/supporters who all get on incredibly well & have done for a long time. Oh there is ONE sidecar racer in NZ who is not a member of NZSCRA, his name is Steve Bron.
