Nelson Street Racing! (Fri 2 Jan 2009)

[MyGSXF:Me]

How about this... a rider was still racing (back marker) and they opened the gate poeple WERE CROSING with bikes on the track.

Ohh yeah... different flags being flowen at the same time diferent posts.

And then they called up Post classics AND buckets instead of classics, and they knew 80% of bucket racers also ride post classics... the feild was a mess, this is all off the top of my head.

This is now the second year you have dribbled on about stuff that happened 2 YEARS ago Daryl.. were you there LAST year to see how well things went.. no.. were you there THIS year to see how well things went.. no.. :slap:

you are the only person complaining!! others that were there last year AND this year have all commented on how bloody GOOD it all was!!

get over it boy!

Answer me this... if you partner was let out the dummy grid late in the direct path of a falcon car doing over 100kph (if it wasent for fer keeping hard left for a change shed be DEAD)

you forgot to mention.. pregnant!

ps; the timer is on to see how many seconds it takes for you to red rep me.. again...

Well you started IT and it wasnt 11mins, it was 660 seconds (re your quote above)

and do note in all my posts I am trying to promote the street race yes i want to come back and race there.

the event was pretty good i thought. first time though.

no big cock ups to speak of and it seemed to run alot smoother than wyndham. only thing that was annoying was the flag mashals didn't seem to know what was going on. yellow flags in random places and the final corner marshall didn't know about the red flag at the nasty crash (in f2). but hey no bodys perfect.

So some things havent changed, they may not be perfect but a slip up like that by a flaggie can be a life lost.

Ok, now look I know how hard it is to get the likes of flaggies. With the lack of volinteers that know what they are doing it means unskilled people are forced into the job, pitty but yes again I relise thats how it goes, and for some reason NPR strugles more than most other meets.
Not a lot we can do there part from beter education aimed at new flaggies. Do they use RT's at Nelson?

I would have had they allowed the classes I race, by the time they reneged I had already bought and paid for another race meet in the north Is... sorry i wasnt about to change plans two weeks out.

As below...



post #6

This is a pitty, wish the PNSR commitee would get their shit togeather as it 'could/should' be a awesom event for those watching and those racing.

post #10

Like I said above, I would like to get back there to race again... its up to them to fit us in and not with PC..

And post #13 has no reavance to the street race.

Well, since I have offered (& been accepted) to help with next years organisation.. I will try my best to make sure YOUR class is included..

You're talking to a Leo.. hsssssss..

This Dangerous bloke doesnt sound that dangerous to me,I wonder if its his lips that are the dangerous bits.

Yea, I mean you MATE!
Irrespective of what happened at this street race or that street race you are still exactly what I said first off. You profess to be talking for and representing 45 others. I reckon you are not doing them a lot of favours. Most of your more inflamatory posts all seem to reflect more of a "me, me ,me" perspective.I sure as hell wouldnt want you representing me or my views

That was because they had issues with the RT's they were using. Trust me, they were frustrated about it!

[TonyB]

And also note, I am trying to promote the Nelson meet for next year, I WOULD like to see a full feild of buckets AND post classics.

This is quite ironic, given the email that I am about to send the BRMC committee.

Seeing as how this is got all stirred up again for the record I do have to correct you MyGxsf and I dont consider being concerned about conditions at a st race to be 'dribbling on' (Sorry TonyB but I am sick of the inaccuracies going back and forth especially by those with no firsthand knowledge of the issues... not you by the way ).

• We (the BRMC as a group) wrote a letter of complaint with issue about the 07 races in Jan/Feb 07, it was never answered by Nelson club until D spoke to Darren in Oct 07 at Greymouth: there seems to have been some confusion by the Nelson Club as to whether it was answered earlier but no letter was received until NOVEMBER 2007, far too late for most people to change xmas plan to race in 08 if they wanted.

• At least 13 people signed the letter, not just one or 2. They are all individuals and perfectly capable of making up their own minds about going back to the races. D doesn't actually spend his time telling them what to do! Sometimes the line between the Pressie of the BRMC and the stirrer Ginga Dangerous get a little blurred.

• Everything stated in the letter DID happen. e.g. the safety concerns, etc. As well as the poor organisation at the 07 races: e.g. If you happened to have brought 2 bikes (eg in this case a PC and a Bucket you got a grand total of 3 races... 2 PC and one bucket, there were about 10 people affected by then sudden combination of the 2 classes on the dummy grid). On the other hand if you had one Motard you got 5 races. Not many racers I know would be happy with that, and memories are long unfortunately, treat someone poorly and they tend to remember it for some time

• All of the above may have changed and if circumstances were different then I would still like to race at nelson, cos in general I enjoyed the day but was disappointed by things that went on. And believe me there were some people WAY more upset about the organisation of it than D, shown by only 2 or 3 people at the following years races. He just tends to bear the brunt as he opens his gob and speaks out a bit much at times.

• FWIW I was NOT pregnant at the 07 races but was for both the 08 and the 09 so the fact is neither D nor myself were ever likely to race the last 2 years. Taupo was his treat for this year and that was organised back in about August, too late to change plans at a later time.

• Forget the red rep MyGSXF, it only counts on KB not the real world: its the reputation people get offline for their actions that is far worse... or perhaps better.

Gees I really dislike seeing the word 'Mate' when the intention is to piss someone off.

Sometimes D does get carried away but in this case WE all had valid concerns.
Perhaps instead of denegrating people with your first post on KB v-twin, you actually listen and read further. Generally people respond like with like... dont get upset if someone retaliates after you have criticised over a situation you may know little about (and I am talking about the 07 race situation not the current NPR situation which is a totally different kettle of fish).

[v-twin]

OK MATE... remember I am a spokesperson for a club...

Hmmmm... I have been cruising this and any other bike related forums for years. Yer man, Dangerous has been fairly liberal with insults and provocative statements about clubs,club officials,persons for a long time. This is the first forum I have ever posted on and I only joined to Dangerous.

You never know, he may have to deal with me one day.That would be interesting

And if people dont realise that I do it out of passion for the sport... another words when some one is killed at a street race then that will be the end of a very kiwi tradition that dates back as far as bikes in NZ... it will be a crying shame... anyway then thats their problem, not mine.

hahaha... I can handle it man, actually Im kinda stoked to have my very own stalker... I believe they are also known as a "troll"

Have we ever actually met?
