Cecil,
At no time did I ever say that you cursed at the Officers or any Officers. I just stated that I witnessed your interaction with a couple of Officers and that you stated that you would never ride TCCRA again and that you did not feel that taking the checkered flag was the official end of the race. I don't know where you got this " Talking behind my back" thing. I have never said anything like that or accused you of it. Maybe you have me confused with some other incident that you were involved in. As far as me doing "Things" not sure what you are referring to about this either.
The forum name EXCited is because I ride a KTM EXC so basically, it is just a play on words not a spelling error.
DDF as for as me working to keep the track from being destroyed on Friday and Saturday nights, I spent a many Friday and Saturday night out after 10pm doing "Bubba Patrol" as we referred to it, but at some time in the evening you have to go to bed, because I had other duties in the morning. The parents should know where their kids are and be responsible. A Gate fee is not a Baby-sitting fee.
I have always made it a point to say hello to you at races, not matter what was going on between you and the club. I believe that you have some good ideas. I personally liked reading your posts and found most of them entertaining.
I spent 4 years as a TCCRA Officer, the Public Relations position does not vote on protests, bumps, etc. I've worked with Curtis and Angie on helping them get contingency for TORN and I've spent the last 3 years working with the Oklahoma Cross Country Racing Association on sponsorships, contingency etc. I was accused of being Pro-Torn, because I like some of the ideas and rules that Curtis put in place.
I don't know how many years it has taken TCCRA to put in the Pit Bike number rule as the membership would vote it down every year. Curtis being owner of TORN does not have to have a membership vote once a year to make changes, so he can change things as he sees the need. A lot more changes could be made at TCCRA if it was not a club run by the membership, but it is so that is a two edge swoard. While everyone has their vote, change can be slow.
I want to see the off-road racing community grow. Below is my number is anyone has anything that they would like to discuss with me............ be it racing, price of tea in China..... etc.
