That is bad news alright. Again though I reiterate my points made earlier. I just don't get it. Why should a pile of emails from people who happen to read this forum be the major requirement to have this rule examined for its validity and usefulness and repealed? What if there was no OzVMX forum? How would riders have known that it was necessary to complain, or even that a meeting was being held? I'm sorry, but while I sympathise with your feelings Firko, I think the whole thing is bullshit.
Can someone (Mark or Dave or someone) please tell me what this meeting was that was just held, why it was so critical, and why there is no avenue for appeal?
I can't believe that an organisation aimed at administering this sport doesn't have a formal channel for debate, discussion, review and so on to which riders have access - fair and reasonable access. Not have it left to if they may have happened to have heard about it on some forum and decided to write in an email.
Tell you what, I'm happy to have the fight if someone can give me some insight in how. I will even go read the rulebook, but maybe it's time we got serious on this. I think it's a joke.
By the way, I did email MA (or Ross Martin) directly and got no acknowledgement. And where's the communication to members about this apparent decision?
