Our oppinions differ on what happened in '93. I was on that board. I did not vote to suspend the Goffs based on eliminating compitition. They had two public, front straightaway displays in two races and had been suspended for short periods in prior seasons with no effect on their beheivor. A longer suspension was the next step. Sadly it only made the situatuation worse.
On the subject of eliminating competition. Do you recall that in 1986 we lost our 2stroke powered "roadster" in a one of these emotionaly driven decisions.

Right there is the problem with U.M.R.A. All other competitors in the club are dealt with on a per incident level.If they don't have a problem again until next year then it is all forgotten.I have seen many times over the years where the problems with the Goff's are considered as a whole in other words when a problem comes up that should be a small deal All other small problems from all previous years are also brought up.This is wrong!!! It should be on a per incident level with all competitors.
