Greenie me ? No. but we are so good at ruining our own pastimes. Taken from gromiesters 'for sale re tear offs'. I prompted me to think of selfish ways we must change.
I have viewed a sup. reg requirement for a virgin grass meeting that stated ,ALL rubbish in "particular plastics, oils and glass and cardboard" must be removed from designated meeting area and to 200 metres from boundary markers. It stopped the meeting. Tear offs are rubbish and a toxic painful deadly pollutant to livestock and animals. Dumping and not removing our race day rubbish and shit is common practice, Ever left a carton or bag full of garbage beside a tree or bin ? ???
We have to take ALL our shit back home.
Add noise (sadly >:() . Lack of respect to others, Excessive abusive annoying loutish behaviour, wanton vandalism ,destruction of land owners private property, fences, fittings and foliage, and of course the "some other stupid pricks will clean it up attitude"...... I am not innocent of any or all of the above but taking the time now to change. Tim754

I am innocent of the lot. ;D Smiths roll offs, the green choice.

I did a grass track last weekend in Vic, at the riders breifing we were told that the use of tear offs was now discouraged and to expect a complete ban in the very near future. They advised that for any future races we should be getting roll-offs.
Its a lot easier to buy new googles and roll-offs than it is to find landowners (usually farmers) that are willing to donate their paddocks to be torn up... i think its a good decision
