Tony and Yamaha (even though you changed your post),

Those attitudes are exactly what hurts the UMRA. If someone has a complaint and they voice that complaint they are ridiculed and ran down and crap like that is what makes people what to do something different.

The problem becomes that there cant be a difference of opinion and after everyone agrees to disagree they cant just go and race. When I ran I had disagreements with several of the guys and maybe had there been an alternative place to race I might have went there. But my disagreements never lasted long.

Sounds like all this has been building up for a while. Maybe a new series might help the UMRA get their closets cleaned out and do the competitors some good by giving them options of where to race.

Jim, I think what set Bob Lowe apart from the others is he ran the club as a dictator. He did it his way and if you did not like it you could go home. I think that is needed at times because as I am sure everyone will agree, racers like to ***** ALOT!:O:

p.s. for the record I always thought the TQ's put on their best shows at the fairground bullrings. I hate to see so many of them have slipped away.
