Don't even get me started on this one.... This BS decision, as if heat was an unknown safety item in the middle of f'n JUNE, to make a poll, have a majority vote of 3 races and then change it 4 days prior to a race is MF'ing stupid. And yes, I got fucked. Had it stayed 3 races, I would probably still have a very narrow lead in the points race (which strengthend my decision), now I am 56 points in the hole barely clinging to second ahead of Mr. Lyons....Quote:

The bigger problem is that we have been sitting around "discussing" this for what, 4 months now since I have been around and it seems it was a sore spot long before I got here. How difficult is it to take notes, pull them together, write a plan and make it happen and stick to it over and over and over??? Honestly?! From my newbie vantage point, the folks running the series are running it as an after thought and they only really begin to think about the next event MAYBE 4 days prior to loading up the equipment and heading out.....I mean really, HOW ON EARTH do you NOT bring scales to an AI/CMC event???? That's like driving cross country and leaving all 4 tires at home... or how about conducting a thorough CMC tech inspection and NOT know the f'n rule book....?!
Part of me is glad I chose not to attend Hallet because I think if I had, I would be soured 10x more than I already am....even if I had been successful and still on top in the points. From what I have read here in the last 4 days, it seems we made ZERO progress forward, and just took a huge giant leap backward. We have settled into a pattern of a good event, then a bad event, good, bad......that means TWS should be good, but MSR-H will end the season on a bad note.....
I will close with this..........CONSISTANCY!
thanks again! Have a wonderful day and smile! :?
For the record, I'm not saying it was a BS decision and I'm not saying anyone is MF'ing stupid.
I said I was still pretty steamed by the decision. No further than that for me, thanks.
Well, that was not meant to offend or include MB on my side....but I have said it and I meant it. Hate me for it if you will but something has to be said if we are going to make a change. Being passive, being agressive and being an a-hole hasn't worked to date......so I am open to suggestions on how to change things......maybe the suggestion is that NOTHING will change and the tide will come and go.....? :lol:Quote:

If we consistently tell folks we'll only weigh cars on R1 & R3......guess what...R2 & R4 results now become suspect.
If we consistently tell folks we'll only weigh certain cars, then the other car results now become suspect. Trust me...it happens...I can tell you stories.
If we consistently don't weigh after qualifying...guess what....pole positions now become suspect.
For 90% of the items, like race writeups, weekend schedules, driver meetings, etc. Consistency is King. However, some things in regards to tech do need to be changed up to keep everyone honest.

i agree w/ you on those points todd. no reason to tell people when they will not get caught cheeting.
....
Could we be told "before" we go out that we will have to report to scales so we can have water waiting to help "beat the heat"???
It's "I love lamp.".....get it right!!! :wink:Quote:
