****Outline of NESC*****

greenspun.com : LUSENET : New England Motocross Racing : One Thread

Alright, I got a great idea for all you folks out there who have replied to just about every post there is. You are obviously not the people that are going to do anything other than keep replying and making up stupid "threats" and how ur goin to "unite" with the riders and your going to form a rider group and your going to "make a new organization." I see you as the spineless people that make up NESC board and the NESC refs. Let me think of a couple names off the top of my head, RaZeeMx970, a kid that races NEMA and wants to get in the thick of things. "anything i can do contact me" Is that not bullshit?MxCkik520. I think that she has replied to every post on the message board. No? Seems like she can type really fast or she is always online, not out "uniting." I don't know about many of you, but if you race ANY other race other than NESC, you will see the difference.

SIGNUP

Every other race you fill out a AMA form that takes about 30 sec to fill out and then you go up and they run the thing thru and you're signed up.

REFS

Then we have our ref situation. Let me think for a second...nope, I can't think of one place to race other than NESC where a kid winning the 250 B Championship would be suspended on the spot for 31 days at the start of a race. His mechanic should be reprimanded and he should maybe be docked 1 lap for action of "geting some dirt from in front of the gate." Our Dick Referee decides that it would be fair to ruin the kids 250 B Championship. Wait, I have another fair call by our friend Dick Referee...Expert class, i believe that it is a money class, i also believe that here in NESC we pay back to 10th position. Well our friend Dick Referee decides that money is no issue to riders in the expert class and that championship points mean nothing to riders either. I mean, the Championship only has money awarded to the top finishers in the Expert Class too. Well Dick decides he would take all this away from a rider, who has attained "Expert" status by becoming a fast rider and learning whats right and wrong, by pulling him over, near the end of a moto so that he can "check the riders sleeves to see if they are cut. Guess what Dick, if memory serves me correct, he was wearing a "regulation" shirt. 9th to 11th place is what happened during the little "check." The next time Dick decides to watch a professional race, ask him how many times the refs pulled a rider to the side of the track b/c his jersey "looked cut". Wait, again Dick looks like the great ref he is A) several of the national riders wear cut jerseys B) I don't think that its ever happened before. I would like to know how Dick got elected? Now that we have decided that our buddy Dick is out there only to help and protect us from all dangers, it is time to move on

TRACKS

Here in New England, we have the largest organization in the country. Guess what, our large organization runs every other race at one of the WORST tracks in the nation. I'm not gonna mention which track but it starts with Middle and it ends with boro. I'm not out to diss the track because the fact of the matter is that at Middleboro, they post large purses, posted $10,000 or $30,000 for championships and attract a lot of fans. This is good. The problem is that underneath the flat area the track is made is a rock pit, or so it seems. I don't think that there is one track quite like Middleboro, where u can stand at one end of the track and see te whole track on one big plane. Beautiful I must say, although about every track besides supercross tracks that are halfway decent have some elevation change. And they actually do this thing that we who race out of New England call groom the track. I like the steam roller they use better anyways. Enough about Middleboro, its already been decided that it is one of the worst tracks to be ridden on, on a regular basis. Now we go on to the circuit that NESC decides to choose every year. We have Central Village, where there is actually a real track, that we could ride, but choose to ride sparingly, and then theres Greene, another track that would be fantastic if they learned how to water. These two tracks, where there is actually a chance that after riding for several years, one might be able to ride a couple tracks on the national circuit, are used hardly ever in favor of Middleboro and Southwick. Go to a track outside of New England and I guarentee that you will be able to pick out the few riders who have dared to ride out of New England. They are on the outside, searching for berms, hitting the jumps with the front end high, etc.

PROMOTION

Has anyone in NESC ever gone to Loretta Lynns? Or to a track outside of New England. Have you looked at the B class? The kids winning the B class at these events could probably run in the top 5 in the Expert class. Yet here in NESC we like to make it so that a dominant rider can't win every event and win the half year championship. To me this sounds a bit ridiculus. A rider should be able to ride a full year as a B rider before he should be bumped up. How is a rider that is going to actually be competetive in the B class at Loretta Lynn's going to do this. He is obviously going to be way faster than any other B riders here, yet he can't even race every race or he will get bumped up and not be able to ride Loretta's. Sounds like an airtight system to me.

In closure to this letter, I have decided that NESC is not all its cracked up to be. You see the yearly, New England section in the national magazines, and it praises the largest organization in the nation. Then a rider comes here and laughs. Soutwick Invitational - NESC staff decides that they are going to try to say stuff to the national riders. Upon listening to a conversation between these riders and mechanics, one will hear laughter and, "haha, we better watch out, we're at NESC." These riders who are on national broadcasts every week, are heckled by our refs. I don't know what the solution is but there needs to be some form of action. We here in NESC get some of the worst care anywhere. NERC for life

THE "MIDDLEBORO 44" HAVE A VERY VALID MISSION AND NEED YOUR SUPPORT. ALL RIDERS SHOULD STAND ALONG SIDE THEM...THEY ARE MAKING A STATEMENT FOR EVERYONE. NOT JUST THEMSELVES.

THE NESC IS IN DIRE NEED TO STEP BACK AND LISTEN TO THOSE WHO MAKE UP THEIR ORGANIZATION - NOT THE TRACK OWNERS, NOT THE REFS, BUT THE RIDERS.

ONE OF THE RIDERS BANNED FROM MIDDLEBORO HAS ACTUALLY GONE TO DEFEND THE MIDDLEBORO TRACK WHEN THE TOWN HAD SEVERAL COMPLAINTS AND REQUESTS TO CLOSE IT DOWN.

IN ALL REALITY, NORMAN BIT OFF HIS NOSE TO SPITE HIS FACE. DOES HE REALLY THINK THAT BANNING EXPERTS (NOT ONLY FOR THE REST OF THE RACE SEASON, BUT FOR "LIFE") IS GOING TO MAKE HIM LOOK GOOD? HE'S CARRYING ON LIKE A SPOILED CHILD, HIDING BEHIND HIS "LAWYER", FALSE ACCUSATIONS OF THREATS OF VIOLENCE AND NAME CALLING.

IF THREATS WERE REALLY MADE, WHY WAS A POLICE REPORT NOT FILED IMMEDIATELY? BETTER YET - POLICE WERE ON THE PREMISES, WHY WAS THE RESPONSBLE PARTY NOT APPROACHED AND DEALT WITH LAWFULLY?

THE "MIDDLEBORO 44" ARE WHO HAVE A REAL CAUSE FOR LEAGAL ACTION: DEFAMATION OF CHARACTER, SLANDER, LOSS OF INCOME/BUSINESS INTERRUPTION.

KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS GROUP CONSISTS NOT ONLY OF EXPERT RIDERS, BUT AMATEURS, NOVICES AND AT LEAST ONE KID UNDER THE AGE OF 12. NICE EXAMPLE FOR KIDS - BAN THEM FOR THEIR PARENT'S USE OF BETTER JUDGEMENT. IF A SEASONED RIDER DOESN'T THINK THE TRACK IS UP TO PAR, THEN MAYBE IT'S NOT AND MAYBE SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT IT.

IF YOU'D LIKE TO SEE REAL CHANGES MADE, YOU ALL HAVE TO STICK TOGETHER...AND THAT'S NOT WHAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY (7/9). THERE ARE QUITE A FEW "NOISE MAKERS" WHO DIDN'T MAKE AN EFFORT TO SUPPORT THEIR FELLOW (BANNED) RIDERS, AND YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE. YOU DON'T DESERVE TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS DISTINGUISHED GROUP OF GENTLEMEN, AND YOU DESERVE TO RACE UNDER SUB-STANDARD CONDITIONS.

THANK YOU.
