Drag racing classes for TF07?

[seadoo650]

about 1 hour of the drags and i'm bored.i like watchin the big boys.i suggested this somewhere else,but someone said the drags were already all figured out,so why is it still being drug around?i say keep it simple,help keep the arguments,and stress of the staff down.

Don't know why it's being drug out. Classes have been figured out. Detailed rules to be presented soon.

Hey Tim, I saw this in another thread so I just wanted to remind you that I did offer to run the drag event for TF07. If your "tiny overworked staff" thinks that 3-4 classes is too much to handle I would still be more then happy to take this off your hands. Let me know if I can do my part, I know I've enjoyed doing it in the past.

The WI group up here is able and willing..............

I really didnt want to go there in public, but since you cant seem to let it to, Im going to say it once:

I wasnt even supposed to run the drags last year. I was the emergency backup plan. After running what I though was an excellent drag last year, with the fastest guys actually winning without the aid of a rulebook and a lawyer, gratitude was shown by person after person lining up to piss and moan at me about how unfair it was and what an idiot I was because I did not design a class around each of their trikes. Rick and Dawn recognized how ticked and frustrated I was. They offered to take this mess off my hands for '07. This was, of course after volunteering for task after task all week to help out. The following day, I was running MX races and my scorer never showed up at the track. Dawn jumped in and bailed me out again. Rick and Dawn proved themselves to be dependable, reliable, and dedicated. I gladly turned these drag races for '07 over to them that weekend, but felt guilty because I knew theyd get nothing but grief for it.

You were part of the Trikefest planning group organized later. Things didnt go your way, and you wanted out. Yes, you "offered" to run the drags. I declined your offer, because somebody was already in charge. You left. Then you came out in the public forums, and started this thread. For what? All it has served to do is undermine everything these people have worked on. You lead people on the forums to believe they were setting up multiple classes, when no outline of any classes had been released by Dawn and Rick, and they got to take the heat for it.

I appreciate all you did to help out in 2005. You were a lifesaver. That is why I accepted your offer to help score the MX in 2006. You, sir, were that scorer that did not show up in 2006, while I was left standing in the rain with a bunch of racers and wet clipboard. Dawn with umbrella appeared and saved my bacon yet again, because YOU were not there.

You have not only proven yourself to be unreliable when things got tough, but this thread is proof that you are willing to undermine the efforts of those who are working to get things done, but not do things as you feel they should be done. Thats a poor way for a staffer to treat other staff. For those two reasons, you are not the man for this job. My personal opinion is to run nothing but fun open drags, and throw YOU the "serious" drags to do on Thursday, because I dont think you are up to the task, and it would be justice to have all the chronic complainers yelling at you, and I really dont care if that event happens. Im so disgusted with some of the attitudes of "sportsmanship" displayed over this event in these forums that I dont care if we ever run another staged drag race or award another drag trophy again. The behaviors are something Id be embarassed for my kid to see, and Id end his racing if he ever displayed them. Rick and Dawn, however, must have spines of steel, because they have invested a lot of hard work in putting this together, and they wish to go forward with it, in spite of receiving all this "gratitude", and I WILL support them, because thats what this staff is supposed to do, and because its the right thing to do. Im not going to stand by and watch them get spit on. People had best started treating them with a little respect, and stop being argumentative for the sake of arguing. The classes are set. Thats the way it is. Get over it! You dont like it we can refund your entry fee. Honest questions are welcome. Badgering questions for the sake of arguing are not. The arguments are over. I doubt Dawn and Rick will want to do it again next year after all the complaining, so maybe you can be the big cheese in '08. Ill be the first person to vote it into your hands. In the mean time, for '07, we have a Drag Race committee that you chose to vacate. We have responsible and reliable people in charge. Either support them, or just shut up and let them do their job.

This thread no longer serves any purpose.
