Seems odd...  Why then organize with another group if all that is going to happen is that whomever wasn't a club member is looked at as a ghost?  You should welcome the competition and feel satisfied or challeneged where you finished.  The WERA National is coming to Mid-Ohio.  Think it is fair to score the regional guys in their order vs where they really scored? 

 

I get it to a degree, but why make a big deal over it being an Eastern Event when all you do is score yourself amongst the club you always race with?

Because current points breakdown only allows for points to 15th place and there were 30 bike grids. They ran novice and expert together instead of splitting for some reason so now the entire novice group will get 0 points for being there and some of the experts will get zero also.

That is the best way to handle it this time after the fact. I think it needs to be addressed prior to next season though.

Personally I think novice and expert should always be split too.

I always keep a handful of marbles in my left jacket pocket for times like this

You would use a lot. You can keep shit at work and at my place. Stop with excuses. LBTS Racing could own the novice sumo class too lol

Whoa I'm a lil giddy right now lol. I just googled that track Kent is looking at and it's like 30 mins from me. I can making regular visits there.

Won't be for long

Come race it on the 26th with us

I'll start the bidding at $100 then because I really like pizza

That's not a hippa violation or anything...

 

Yea, I was thinking the same thing

The reason for the cancellation which was my decision was based on a couple of factors.  One, Life Flight lifted with about 30 minutes to go.  So, by the time we'd do any calls, the Novice Group would have been the only group to ride that last hour.  Second, with what happened in that group, I just felt it wasn't the best thing to do and that shutting it down made best sense.

 

Yes, everyone got a shortened event by one session, but at the end of the day I made a call that I felt made sense.  The instructors all agreed from whom I asked and since it involved the Novice group, we felt it was the best choice. 

I will always back your calls there, you are one of only a few coaches that are there to better people instead of just get free track time.

And since youre being so helpful Conrad

How about getting an answer on the next race venue.....

Its quickly approaching and still listed as TBA, many asked Sat and go no answer as well and Ive got a thread about it on OMRL also unanswered. Many of us need time to plan with family, pets, jobs etc if its farther or longer day and such than our normal CRP days. It would be nice to know sooner than later.

 

 

Not in a rush, but everything I own including my truck, wifes car, guns, dog, wife, child, is for sale for the right price.  The wife is cheaper than the kid by far, but I'm probably the cheapest of them all.

Picts and specs on wife and guns please

Ok.. As far as points.. Just got off the phone with Kent. More than likely he will score it double points by OUR club members race results. If you were 4th, but had 2 non club members in front of you, you'll be given 2nd. He is only scoring the race and where OUR club members finished at. Copy all that?? If you have further questions please email Kent at the club email on our website. Thanks

That is fair and is exactly what many of us talked about Saturday. I think you will have zero complaints there as there were at least 8-10 that talked about doing just that. I think that is really the only way to keep our series straight too

That is well said Brian.

1) I agree with rider/style, I blamed the rider from the start. He rode like an aggressive asshole with an ax to grind. Caused several crashes and put one guy in the hospital.

2) The corner workers deff needed some education, I know what they deal with since I work ems and flag at Mid Ohio, this case here seemed to have as much to do with laziness as lack of training.

3) I also agree there is no reason to wait till year end for rule changes.

I know for myself and at least 2 others we will not bother going back to PIRC for this round next season unless there are changes planned for scoring, griding and assbag riding.

make you a good deal Adam

Buy it and store at my place, Cathy will never know. Or she said " she wants to see the title" title it in my name and then take it home and tell her I'm hiding it from Dori lol

Thinking of finding a 600 for next season,

  

Would u be interested in my z1000?

I'm thinking no.

He means to track, the Z1000 is not a track bike or conducive to our riding style

I would store and not say a word to out team chef lol

What you did do to try and split it is appreciated. 30 bikes on the grid with a 15 second lap time split between 1st and 30th was ridiculous. I will say it went way smoother than I thought it would though. And would've been smoother yet had 77 not been there. I'm completely impressed that no one confronted him in the pits and delivered an ass whooping as he deserved it from several people.

Now will be interesting to see points break down as our system only allows for points to 15th. Numerous people will be rather unhappy to have made the trip and spent a considerable amount of cash to get zero points. The flagging deff needs addressed for next time. Again not OMRL fault as you stated.

Cathy won't have to know about the gun.

What do I need? I need contact info for someone at Speed and Strength!

I had what I consider to be a horrible failure in my Triple Crown suit over the weekend and I want to talk to someone there about it before I publicly run their name into the ground. I used the contact us form on their website with no response. You guys able to help put me in touch with the right person before I use this forum and all the others I'm on plus take it to work with me at Mid Ohio to show everyone that shows up for track days to see what a bad quality issue I ran into?

Yep I made it at 835, spanked your time

I'm sure his girl would love that. Lol!

LOL you learned quick

Nope, I just like comfort lol. Roughing it in a tent in the woods with no running water, AC or a toilet doesn't excite me at all. I prefer a camper.

Lets get together and talk about this, I may be interested in upgrading by the time you are ready to sell.

Dibs on the current LBTS Racing camper and dibs on that bunk at the top of the ladder in the soon to be LBTS Racing hauler

I don't even do that. I like my women a touch classier

The kart people were worthless, and on top of that, they were kart people...  I don't know how they could take this stance, but I thought they were claiming they didn't know what "aggressive riding" looked like. 

 

What I was a bit more upset by is that Kent and Brian didn't address things more firmly.  To be completely fair, I know Kent went and talked to the guy after I voiced concerns to Kent.  I do not know what was said, or how he responded.  I also think that it should fall on Ryan Flemming to go the extra mile to keep riders from his club in-check.  If Kent went down and said something to Ryan about anyone, I would have expected Ryan to put an immediate stop to it.

 

I think of it in terms of how I would react...  If Ryan came up to me telling me to back off, I might think "this guy doesn't know me... WTF?"  If Kent came up to me and said the same thing, I would absolutely take it seriously and be legitimately apologetic toward whoever complained. 

 

From what I saw, this guy's response was to go out and run into me in Turn 1, then ignore black flags.

Agreed.
