Appoint some non mechanical yoyo. Then "inspect" barley's bike. And by Inspect I mean thoroughly. Each piece disassembled. If he can put it bak together and make the race great. If not well he wasnt really banned. But was a shame he couldn't participate.From the CRA rule book

Tim mizny would make you pay.You can speculate all you want, play devils advocate. If I get sued and lose by this ahole, at least I can sleep at night knowing I did the right thing. The big difference between me and a lot of people is when I get old and gray, I will be able to talk about what I did, not tell them about what I would have done if I wasn't a coward and lived in fear of "what could happen". I will make a stand for what I believe in, this is an issue I believe strongly in. I have never been shy about kicking people out. Now do I ban people forever? no. I eventually give up, bury the hatchet. However, if nobody else is going to stand up for this kid, why cant I? The fact that you would even argue this is sickening to me.
Think that topic deserved its own thread. lolI guess I should add that TLC provided AMA with a lot of receipts for numerous items......They are a bike shop so of course that was no biggie! In reality AMA appointed themselves as the law...their own court of law.
I know everyone is here quick to judge jeff for his actions at smith rd... I have known him for many years and yes he is a little high strung and loud and opinionated but what you guys dont see is that his entire life revolves around his son.... he is a very good dad that just had a melt down.... he is around all 4 of my kids on a regular basis and treats them like gold and his son plays with my kids all the time.... he would "NEVER" purposefully hurt Austin.... he has saved that little boy's life by getting him away from the unstable environment he was in.... dont you think when you seen him struggling someone could have just lent a hand... instead of turning it into a giant fiasco..... so until you know the whole truth dont be so quick to judge... and as far as banning him from racetracks is pretty redicuolous because if you have ever broke down at the track or needed parts jeff was usually the one right there to give you a hand... just fyi jeff is taking the proper steps to not let any kind d of melt sown happen again...
? Mind you this was a meaningless outlaw race at Smith Road Raceway (no offense to the track) not Loretta Lynn's; however missing a moto at Loretta's would still NOT justify his actions but would be a valid reason to get upset. Although if the A-hole had actually been parenting correctly then his son would not of missed his moto.... a very good dad that just had a melt down...
with him? His son being small couldn’t hold the A-holes bike still enough so he got yelled at and pushed around for that. The A-hole pulled him back to the bike and continued to yell at him to hold the bike still, again it wasn’t good enough for the A-hole so he took the large wrench he was using and struck his child with it on his leg. I have no idea why his son would be in pain and crying after being struck with that wrench in the manner that he had since according to you,... little high strung and loud and opinionated ...
.... he would "NEVER" purposefully hurt Austin...
because WE DID! I separated the A-hole enough from his son enough so that my Wife was able to remove him from the situation. But oddly enough the A-hole did not want the ‘hand’ of this adult male for some reason. Wonder why???... dont you think when you seen him struggling someone could have just lent a hand ...
... so until you know the whole truth dont be so quick to judge …. You weren’t there, you didn’t see any of this happen, and as for what he is dealing with away from the track to allow this to happen at the track I really don’t give a F about. But you are so right we should look at the bigger picture and condone this A-holes actions and welcome him back to the track, because we may never know when we might need a part from him. But you should probably avoid asking him to borrow any tools, especially a wrench!

Not running my mouth at all Shookbabe, simply stating exactly what happened with the A-hole and his son at Smith Road. Wasn't going to post anything, but I started seeing blown out of the water stories posted about what happened and wanted to set the facts straight. If you don't like the truth, I dont really care. And as far as not having he balls to say anything to his or his buddies faces, I think he found out at Smith Road who has the balls between us, and I will give you a hint, IT'S NOT HIM!!!Everyone has plenty to run their mouths about on social media but nobody has had balls to say anything to his face or his buddies that r stickin up for him....??

I didnt get to see the guy at amherst but obviously it must have been the dude people were telling me about yelling at his kid,other parents and track officials. I do believe someone was telling me he got his boy dq'd at meadowlarks. Not sure on that one though. We didnt show up till second motos. My son has more than once frustrated me at the track, i usually just go over what he could have done better,not yell and scream at him. Id much rather him ride slow if hes not feeling it than push him over his limits and take a ride in the meat wagon. Bad enough he broke his collar bone with out me yelling to go faster!
What we have here is a failure to communicate. I'm all for banning whoever you want. Morally, I think its your right. I'm merely suggesting that you learn the law, be smart about it, and protect yourself legally when you do it. That's not cowardly, it's sensible. I'm baffled as to why anyone would argue against that. Personally I'd sleep better if I banned him, and I knew the law was behind me, I had my legal ducks in a row, and I wasn't at risk of having to reward him later.
Nobody else will stand up for this kid but you? Really? Banning this guy from Briarcliff might make you feel better, and might even punish the guy, but will do absolutely nothing for this kid. His life will be only be impacted by those who witnessed and documented his father's behavior, gave witness statements to law enforcement, and will testify as to what they saw. Best thing you could do that would actually help is let them in, and have somebody with vidcam ready to watch him like a hawk.
