Vote in another dead beat?

I had dealings with David White when I was on the MNZ MX commission some years ago . He came across as an astute businessman and knew how to work things to his best interest and not necessarily the members best interest   ;)

Spot on. Rumor has it that he played a huge part in the destruction of an iconic track ignoring members and only thinking of the financial gains for MA in the future

Dealt with him a few times and found he was no enthusiast. He did try a bit and was good at certain things sadly good politics wasn't one of them. MA doesn't really have much power and needs the states to help it with money which is why you need be very good at politics. Jim Scasbrook would be good if you could get him.

Same rumour is getting around here too, but may be a bit harsh but? Time will tell. Those who have had dealings may know?

That track not lost yet, in fact good things may be on the horizon, soon.

Or, the alternative may be parts of the rumour will come true . . .

 I've always found David White to be a cordial, easy to approach bloke but there are folks out there in motorcycleland that positively hate him for a varied number of reasons, some with substance. I'll sit on the fence.
