Originally posted by ChrisBushell Perhaps it will be all clear when you get the briefing note later, but really it boils down to when the season starts, that is what is the 1st race with New Era of the Year Cadwell or Brands? To answer an earlier question, less than 1/3 of the entrants responded about this at the end of last year and a significant number were not asked. This time 100% of riders will be asked their opinions and have the option to vote. This is democracy in action. |
Chris - I agree, all racers should be given the opportunity to vote (or not as they choose). The race season starts at the first points scoring round, be that Cadwell or Brands. There are other implications (Snett) if the season doesn't start until Brands.
As long as all of the facts are made available up front and a fair and true democratic voting process is applied, there can be no issues.
In truth I believe that we should not be voting, we should have been told up front when the season was starting (first points scoring round, not a dress rehearsal) and there would be no need for this debate now. However, it appears that an independant, non-democratic poll was previously issued that has forced this to the vote.
If an elected race committee (that has voting representation from both the MT and riders) decides that we will do X amount if races here, or Y amount of races there, then so be it!!!
All this scratching is making itch!!!
- I just wanna race - thank god I'm off to ride my bike!!!
