A self fullfilling prophesy,refer my post 166 of 30 May last year on "Competition".My posts 308 of 24 Dec and 329 of 28 Dec on "2011 Nats" try to explain why we are STILL hashing this around.As has been said before,this is a great forum but it is still just a forum.
It's really quite simple,and this forum ,extensive discussion amongst riders and some discussion in the clubs suggest overwhelming support in principal for the proposal.
Do you want :- longer motos--more motos--rider age based classes--introduction of Pre 90--more [and less frantic] practice--return to two day events--guaranteed starts for lower entry classes,eg Pre 60--tracks compatible with the era--posibility of other support classes [ladies,legends,teams race,grade races etc etc]--presentations on time--scrutineering at a more civilised hour--more relaxed programn--more leeway for accidents,track prep etc--less strain on volunteers,resources etc.??
See Firko's column latest VMX Mag.
If you agree with any part of this ,it can only be achieved with a split.
The "system" can work,but only if the riders ensure their clubs act on their wishes ,the clubs convey these wishes to the relevant state committees,who in turn pass on to MA.The two main stumbling blocks [with some exceptions] are that members do a lot of talking,but don't follow through,and some state committees are disfunctional or just don't exist.In one instance a state body conveyed a vote to MA thatwas not representative of the majority opinion.
It just comes down to the riders pushing their wishes through the system & followig up untill it's done
If anyone wants a copy of the proposal,let me know.
