Please Read - Additional Rookie Experts for 2007!

The BOD made it rulling on 10/23 or thats when the new experts where posted. I can not find anywhere that says more will be added. The classes I would have raced as a novice is not the same if I would have been expert. I put everything on hold untill the list came out! I made my decisitions on the BOD posted list. If I would have been expert from the start I would have made different choices on bikes and classes. It is well know I was waiting on the list to come out. I have spent over 25,000.00 dollars on bikes that I wont race in expert. This money was spent on the BOD rulling. Chris call it what you want its still B.S. [img]/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/mad.gif[/img] After many post asking Questions to the BOD on next years classes and rules. It was allways Tim read the rule book its not going to change [img]/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/mad.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/confused.gif[/img] Then allmost a month later on 11/16 the BOD says OPPS. How many times was I called stupid and dumb rookie for asking what some considered to be stupid Questions. If the BOD CANT SEE WHY PEOPLE ARE UPSET with this maybe I need to rethink things. Im not upset to be expert.Im upset because I was told one thing then we did the total opposite [img]/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/mad.gif[/img] If you paid to get your car painted red. Then you pick it up and its blue. Would you be upset? I sent request to the BOD. I will sit out the first two races. Please let me know on the rulling.

Wow - just got the letter in the mail today. Too busy packing to be on the board much...

Kotowski - you're a funny man! I'm at stage 4 right now - depression, but more due to the fact that I can't race you next year than the fact of being promoted to expert.

I believe the decision is correct, I would love to race (and most of all -beat) Sonny next year and watch Nathan take off in the distance, unfortunately I'll be sittin' on my *** freezing in Norway.

Perhaps upon my return I will take the leathers out of storage and start dukin' it out with y'all. But as a novice I hope, justification being the lack of practice for 1 year. Sound reasonable...?

Perhaps there should also be a difference between mini ex/nov and big bike ex/nov. No offense but there is a difference between an XR100 and a GSXR1000, and I'm not talking the extra "GS" an "0"...!

TIMMMUH, how've you been? C'mon, last I saw you were dukin' it out with Chase Vivion, not exactly a novice.

The issue I see here again as with all decisions is that you just can't make everybody happy, no matter what you do! Go BOD and go CMRA!

BOD Meeting Minutes:

7. Novice to Expert for 2007. Agreed to not make any changes to the number of Novices moved up for 2007 but to review the process for 2008 to move up a larger group. (Note: After a discussion with the general membership at the Open Membership meeting immediately following this Board Meeting, the Board decided to move up another group of Novices for 2007. The exact number and names of the riders to be agreed upon after review. An announcement to be made on the CMRA website and each rider contacted directly by Nancy).

Patrick Tim e cannot 'duke it out' with Chase Vivion. Not even in the same country speed wise. [img]/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif[/img] If you are talking about the Motard, Chase has been putt'n around on burned up tires for the last several race weekends of '06 getting enough points to win the championship, and not crash.

I too have been told by the BOD that rules are rules, and are followed to the T. Now we see that is not true. Tim e has a legit beef, what a waste of money on the bikes for a '07 race plan based on rules that mean nothing.
