Please Read - Additional Rookie Experts for 2007!

Things I have learned from this thread:

1. BOTH membership and club management have horrible reading comprehension skills.
2. People have zero compassion for the plight and challenges of others.
3. The management of this club has grown so tired of the people who support it that they have virtually zero patience for anything.
4. Almost nobody is sharp enough to realize that this mess was created not by the act of bumping additional riders but rather by the way it was done.

I manage people's perception for a living. Perception is reality to the perceiver. Until somebody learns to manage the perception of the members (CUSTOMERS) you will continue to see threads like this one. And for what it is worth, if I saw this thread before I joined, I would be figuring out my WERA schedule right now.

I agree with bumping more experts and said so at the board meeting. It just should have been a little more subjective, especially with some of the marginal riders who were getting bumped.

Thanks Chris,
As I have no people skills I'll just say what I need to and get on with having thanks for the things I do have. Everyone bumped has an appeals process they can follow if they choose. Those procedures are in the rulebook. The same rulebook oft quoted but seldom read.

Laptimes, position on grid and at the checkered flag, improvement over the course of the year, safety at speed as well as the rider’s index, are the objective things that went into the decision to bump or not. How I feel about someone’s riding or some other unquantifiable criteria did not sway me or the others who where voted into office to serve the club to the best of their abilities. If we're not doing right by the club vote for those you feel can do it better and then support them, or run yourself next year.

BTW, I am SOOOOO pumped to be an expert. I raced as a novice for three years and I darn near won a race in the tundra back in February. I am excited about finally getting to actually race against Falt, the person who got me into this (along with Dad) in the first place.

The .6 is hard to get. I had good finishes in all three years but if you wad it and get hurt once a twice a year it really jacks you up. I have to say, I am very proud of finally reaching one of my personal goals. I set one each year.

Year 1: Live through the year (done).
Year 2: Finish top three in championship (done).
Year 3: Get white plates for christ sake (done).
This year: Do what it take to get an invite to the GNF.

I keep my expectations reasonable so I always walk away feeling like a champ. [img]/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif[/img]
