Dad........all of our information and rough draft of rules are being conveyed to each applicable group for their input, suggested adjustments and hopefully approval at some point. But majority will rule. No one is dictating anything. Must I say it again.......
These were all decided by those at the meeting without anyone having an agenda. They were "group" decisions and ideas. We all realize things might need to be adjusted. Hence......the FIRST rough draft. My main point....no one is shutting anyone out. Seems every Midwestern group was informed of this meeting because they all had at least one representative there in person or by teleconference. Hell.....even the California group for invited to the teleconference part. This was a majority formulated FIRST rough draft. Please read that as many times as you need to let it soak in.
Personally, I could give a rat's a$$ what is done in Tulsa. I am more concerned about what is happening in the rest of the Midwest during our normal racing season. So were all the other at that meeting. My sun doesn't rise and set on Tulsa. One race does not make a season. One thing you need to keep in mind......
Mini sprints basically started in Tulsa in the early 80's. They tried to kill it with out of control motor costs. Luckily it spread quick enough to other parts of the Midwest that utilized more sane motor ethics to ride the storm out. Now.....ask yourself how many Lightning/Mini sprints are there actually in Tulsa today? How many tracks other than the Shootout run them in the Tulsa area? Or even Oklahoma?
Answer those questions and you'll understand why I don't care what Tulsa does. I care what MMSA, ILSS, MLS, WIMS, RMLSA and MALS does and wants. I respect what they all decide as a group. This is not about me or my opinion alone. This has been a group effort and still is. BTW......I am not taking anything personal. I will admit these continued conversations are getting rather stale though.
About forgot...........in case you missed in the post on the other thread.........No one is banking on what the magazines are saying about any motor. It could all be hype to sell motorcycles.....just like the new ZX-10. The BMW issue is about cost and availability.
