Mike, Terry can think the AMA dropped the ball but he wasn't willing to uphold our AMA standards and rules. We have risk management education videos for safety, referee training, flagger training, we mandate that a Ambulance be on site during the event, etc. This organizer didn't want to complete some of the standards. It came down to the last minute with us attempting to get this stuff done and help him and it didn't work out.
It's funny because we promoted it in our magazine for 6 months, sent out press releases and did email marketing for him, and we dropped the ball. Go figure.
Gook luck to Legends raceway with their future endeavors. Our members deserve better... I'll keep working.
Again, I apologize for what happened at Log Road. It was never our intent to allow modern bikes to race on the same track as vintage bikes.
On a positive note, Monster Mountain had around 160 entries for the weekend. Tom Brinkman was really excited about the weekend turnout. He already has called and asked to be on the schedule for Memorial Day Weekend in 2016.
Does anybody know if ALEX is still alive, don't think we have seen even a single smoke signal from Pickerington this year. Is Monster holding an AMA Vintage event this year, what about Nikota. Maybe I expect too much, a little communication from an organization like the AMA, is that too much to ask.
Are we now down to simply send us $50 for a membership, and $60 gate fee for Mid Ohio, and $100 for a couple of classes, is it 3 motos over 2 days, or 2 motos over 3 days, or as many moto's as we can between the rain. Might ne nice to be able to make plans for family,, vacations, travel etc.
To quote Jack Nicolson "WHAT IF THIS IS AS GOOD AS IT GETS ? "
Or my interpretation " WTF"
