Moto-Brian Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Just to address the KTM deal, we at KTM had to make the tough decision to cancel the Race Orange program for 2012 due to budget constraints. It had nothing to do with coming to agreements and nothing to do with sign ups, etc. We have a solid relationship with Mid-Ohio and was nothing to do with them and the fine staff that works there. Budgets get cut or need to be adjusted to accommodate different things. We are hoping to see it back at Mid-Ohio as early as next year.We are still supporting the school and PTR events by allocating (5) RC8Rs for use by instructors...

Moto-Brian Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 So your taking a pay cut to help with the budget Actually, had they allowed me to run the program and gave me the budget and allowed me to make the rules and everything, I would have taken a pay cut.
