Title: If WERA is so popular...
Post by: bfkidd on July 24, 2002, 11:23:59 AM
How come the most people that had in a race last week at N. Florida was 8? Most of the classes had far less than that! And it was a suzuki event.

I thought Roebling was a poor turnout but I have never seen anything like that!

I know, CCS Florida, SE, AMA Mid-Ohio, FUSA etc., but their attendance just doesn't seem to compare race for race.

I was trying to remember why I chose CCS over WERA yesterday. It came down to 3 reasons.

1. CCS has more regional events for me.

2. They had the "Zero to Hero" promotion last year where you get 1/2 off race school and get the 1st entry on sunday races free

3. I didn't have to safety wire my exhaust headers bolts. I didn't feel like taken them off... lazy I know.

I really think the promotion helped many people. Also the CCS website was much more helpful last year. They had race event reviews/news, a couple of articles about start racing (by a elder Dr. I believe) and other useful info. The new racer package is cool to read and very helpful too.

I believe the overall PR of CCS is better than WERA, and CCS do spend a lot of money on marketing (look at the 4 page full spread ad in RRW)

wera has a new region. it competed with moroso, and roebling that weekend.  both are fine organizations. move along folks, nothing to see here.  ::)

wera can post your results in the same season. unlike others.

And even though I didn't say anything negative against WERA, I was just pointing to an attendence figure, they are already blasting me on their site.

And this is the exact point I was looking to prove.

Honestly, I think your experience at NFMP was an anomaly.  I've run WERA in the Mid-Atlantic region, and the turnout is on par with CCS.  In the end, which sanctioning body you ride with is a personal decision.  I ride both so I can get as much track time as possible.
My 2cents worth.

Last I checked Evelyne is actually WERA and she's not blasting you.  

Som riders might be but please don't accuse WERA of something - just as Zeb got corrected on his statement using CCS rather than saying a CCS racer.

I also looked at the thread and so far don't see anyone blasting you.  Are you as sensitive as Zeb?
Title: Re: If WERA is so popular...
Post by: RoadRacerR6 on July 24, 2002, 02:00:44 PM
Hmm.  Can't find anywhere on the WERA BBS where anyone is blasting you, bfkidd.

Are you sure you're not just making that up?

hmm...  please wire your header bolts.  :)  and the exhaust springs!  i had one come flying at me on the jefferson circuit.  it whacked me on the neck...  that stung!

you pissed me off chucky. anyone can have low attendance at any time.it is not indicative of anything. hell, at least you got a top ten at a wera event. you can brag on that!! like i said. both are fine orgs. and i have a liscense for both!!

i'd like to point out that chuck juhaz was doing nothing more than stirring a pot. not as innocent as he would like to imply.
Title: Re: If WERA is so popular...
Post by: wera331 on July 24, 2002, 02:25:20 PM
yes wera and ccs are different I race in both ,depending on convience.most of the time I see the same people at both events.most of them are really nice and helpful and have better things to do instead of trying to start stuff.don't start nothing and there won't be nothing.
Title: Re: If WERA is so popular...
Post by: Buckwild on July 24, 2002, 02:35:01 PM
I hold a license for both in the Mid Atlantic region.
Mostly because of race dates and convienience of local tracks for me. Saying one is better than another asinine, seeing as most of the CCS folks in MA region race WERA and vice versa. Who gives a shit about PR? I just want to race!

I have raced both CCS and WERA and both have their advantages.  I recently raced CCS and their series is different and I can't tell if it's a good thing or not.  
So far CCS hasn't treated me like a low life unlike WERA so I appreciate that.  You would think if your in your 9th year racing with a club that if a credit card gets declined they wouldn't treat you like you were a deadbeat and demand cash.  Yes it's true I couldn't believe it... I make good money... anyone who can race 9 season's in a row is not poor... anyway I hadn't used a credit card in quite a while and when I used it at for entry fee's they (credit card co.) tried to protect me and declined it.  Then when I went up to the both I made the mistake of asking one of the ladies a question and she blew up and said I was rude cause she was writing something.   Then she proceded to yell that my credit card was declined and they have too many racers that owe them money.  I asked why are you getting so upset and what do the guys who owe you money have to do with me.  I asked the quesion a couple of times along with haven't you ever had a card declined for no reason.  Neither question has ever been answered......
Well we all make our choices and mine has been not to take the punishment and spend my time where I can enjoy it.  BTW I told them not to run my other credit card and loaded up my trailer that morning and went home.. May have been a bad day for those people but damn.... you gotta treat people with some respect..
I'm still racing, just finished the 6th round of a 10 round mountain bike series.  Cross country is a lot of fun and maybe I will eventually get in shape.
BTW, just my opinion.... you can form your own if you want.....free world....

Title: Re: If WERA is so popular...
Post by: ysr612 on July 24, 2002, 07:53:57 PM
I have raced wera and ccs both while in the cmra.  the club felt the same with either group.  So I think it is just the local club that makes the diference.

ps we also have a wera club in the area and they are good people also.

Actually I was sitting there the whole time that Indiana Roadracer was talking to the officials and he was way out of line to the point of throwing his cc at the registrar.  She was trying to be nice and he kept going on and on and finally she got pissed back.  Not something I fault her for, I know a lot of the CCS officials and guess what - do the same thing and you'll get the same reaction.  You got pissed because we wouldn't run your card again after we had done so repeatedly and we're out of line?  Grow up.

While I'm at it - what exactly is wrong with us requiring cash when your cc is declined?  We take money for races, you don't give us money we don't let you race.  Your cc company is being nice to you that's great but doesn't help us get our money when the card is declined.

 Mostly I only run Summit Point, but other than class structure, I can't see any real difference. Same guys, same GREAT MARRC corner workers, (AND THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO MOVED THE MOUNTAIN)still fun whoever sanctions it. But with a Buell, in WERA, I only ride the ol'guy class. It's a cheap practice saturday. $65 gets me 2 practices and a race. If I learn anything, someday I might catch Darren and Shannon at the real races. ;D

You were mad because Nan wouldn't run your card again (after she explained that she had done so repeatedly).  You then blew up at her and she reacted.  What part are you remembering differently?

I don't race, but I have friends that do and have seen how upset you get when people do slam you on the other BBS, and of course since you are the controller of the BBS when you get upset all the a$$ kissers jump on your bandwagon. The attitude you have on that BBS makes it seem like you think you are god are something. Also if you are the person who checks the tracks for safety for WERA then they should hire someone else to do that I'm sure lots of people could do better, and just let you sit your lazy butt on a computer somewhere. Plus I'm sure from what I've heard about you that you don't walk anywhere. How do you check the track safety from your truck or with binoculars from the trailer. I'm sure no mattrer what comes up though you will be right as usual.

I've already said that I have friends that race (I do race dirt bikes), and have seen them get hurt when it could have been avoided with a little help from the people in charge of safety. Of course there you are A$$ kissing again. What are trying to get better grid posistions. Out of all the races I have been to I don't think I've ever seen # 57 anywhere close to the front.

What did you win races as a novice because I've never seen a #57 expert up front, or do you consider a win in pratice a win. If I had the money I would and I don't think I ever said anything about CCS. Just go back to your own loser life on the other BBS where your A$$ kissing is appreciated.

I was reading a thread on the WERA BBS a week or two ago. A guy who wants to start racing posted, asking if he could race his GSX-R1000. From what I could tell of the thread, it appeared that somebody responded with a post directing him to CCS, including (I gather) a link to this website. Since WERA doesn't allow Novices on 4-cyl. 1000s. I say "from what I could tell" because it appeared that you either deleted the post "because it promoted a competing organization" or at least hacked it to remove the info about CCS and link.

What's the story?

Quoteno stu he didn't. someone put up a basic CCS ad and it was removed.

I assume that this statement is intended to mean the same as this: "someone put up a post that was a basic CCS ad and it was removed by Mongo." Have I got that correct?

And you assert that this does not conflict with Mongo's statement "I've never played god and deleted any post on any BBS"?

Have I understood you correctly?

Stu - you are correct I did nuke that post.  However I really didn't think that it was the same as playing god, could be wrong though.  I have also deleted a post by someone that made what I felt was an overly indecent remark directed at a 15 year old and I have deleted a number of posts at the request of the posters.  However I think you'll find that anything slamming me or WERA is still there for anyone to see.

Chad - anytime you would care to spend a weekend with me and see how I do or don't do my job come on out.  As for the rest - until you have the balls to post some actual incidents to back up your insinuations you fall into the insignificant category.  If you'd care to share just how I or something I did injured your friends I'd love to hear it.  I would suggest that you post it on my (note the godlike use of the first person) BBS since you seem unable to refrain using words that are getting people in trouble.  Email would be fine as well if you'd rather not get a rebuttal publicly...

Ha ha haaa!! This is great! You might as well have just said "you don't know what you're talking about, the sky is green and the Earth is flat."

For anybody who might have actually believed this statement, let me explain a little about how some things actually work so you don't go away thinking you're safe when you're not.

When you use a HTTP connection (i.e. your browser's address bar starts with HTTP://something-or-other), all the HTML and embedded text that is sent to and from your browser is sent as "plain text". That means it is not encrypted at all. The alternative is to use HTTPS, which tells your browser to use SSL encryption to talk to the website you are connecting to. Some websites support HTTPS/SSL and some don't.

Anyway, if you are using HTTP, then anybody that is monitoring your network can capture the packets that are being sent back and forth from your machine, recognize them as HTML with embedded text and scan the text.

In other words, if somebody wanted to capture all your packets, they could have a browser on their computer display exactly the same thing the browser on your computer is displaying. Or, of course, they could have a program that simply monitors what goes in and out of your computer and sift through it looking for "bad" words, and sending notifications to an Admin person whenever it finds one.

Thank goodness ole Zeb isn't the Network Admin or Network Security person at my company! I guess I shouldn't be surprised coming from the person who doesn't know the definition of the word "we" includes the speaker (or typer) himself.

Zeb,

I can write a simple program that search through any incoming data stream through my network connection and filter out any combination of letters/characters, or any combination that closely resembles it.

yes data come through 1's and 0's, but each character in the set is saved in a byte that has its own value, so we will be filtering a specific set of 1's and 0's. HTML and all other un-encrypted streams are sent as text so very easy to filter. Many jobs do it.

As for WERA board. I started going there before I started racing. I still never done one WERA weekend, but I get most of the information I need pertained to road racing from over there. The CCS board is growing, and I visit both places everyday, I just think it is great to have 2 resources instead of one.

Have WERA and CCS at the same time in the same country is what this great country is about, individual choices. Each is different from another, no fair comparison can be made, because we draw our conclusions from personal data rather than a overall, unbiased, objective view.

Lets all agree on the fact that it is great for our sport that TWO seperate org's can co-exist and race at the same race tracks. That means our sport is live and well and growing.

I will race WERA when I get the chance, and I believe, however different, it would be a rewarding experience, and I would love it nonetheless, because I will be racing my bike, something I love to do.

Oh, no doubt that you CAN screen everyone's text with a browser, but do you know how much computing power it would take to screen EVERYONE's packets???  Funny, I have a formula right here in front of me that's telling me that computing power for 1,000 is astronomical, 1 person maybe, 10 people, likely, 1,000+ don't even try....... never said it COULDN'T be done, anything CAN be done, the question is ARE they doing it, doubt it..... now if you want to start trading credentials, then we will, but when it comes to security, don't even try....

An average HTML page sized at 10k (text) loaded over 1 second. Times that by 1000 is 10,000k, which is 10MB's which is about the upward limit of a usual network connection.

You mean to tell me that your server can't filter though 10mb of data every second at the MOST? It is not astronomical... and most pages can be delayed more than 5 seconds without complain, so filtering is doable, and many times, done. It is not THAT unfeasible. IF we are talking about a company with 50 employees, it is VERY doable. IF we are talking about 1000 employees, then they would have more HW to filter.

ok, so you've already maxxed out a 10 mb connection on the 8080 port.... now let's add in email aka the 25 port....and would you also like to add in quicktime, realplayer, WMP, and all the other various media players...... then we have JAVA plug-ins...... see where i'm going with this... if you're going to screen employees, you don't JUST screen the 8080 port, you have to screen everything.... it would be like installing an alarm system at your house and just putting a sensor on one out of 5 doors, and leaving all the windows wide open.... while at an IT security conference the other week, while briefing I might add...

Point taken, although if I was to monitor my employees, I would monitor the hosts they visit the most frequenly and most likely to reduce their productivity. RIght now I just have to walk around and see them hahahah

But I have worked at places before that only monitor/screen/filter incoming datastream on 8080 and email (on the exchange server) for centain many words. Not arguing that it is good security, just saying it is doable and it has been done.

The whole WERA vs CCS thing is fun to watch, each side has its own thing going. They are both fine. Then we had a couple of the WERA bbs regulars stop on in and stir the pot alittle. Things must have gotton slow over there.

I do have a question for the DOC, brad,#57 or whoever. Just how many races have you won? Do you race WERA? Personally I am curious. What kind of bike do you ride and what were your lap times at VIR this weekend?

I like how you read a little more into our rants than most people, but for me, I was on here conversing with a fellow racers and others got on here saying i had no right to do that (if you look back you will see they were the first to start the name calling and the complaining) so........ moral of the story is, if someone is having a conversation, instead of complaining about them talking about stuff you don't care about, just don't click on the thread....

If a tree falls in the woods does it make a sound?

If zeb farts and no one hears it does it still stink?

If people on here said things to just get a reaction from people does it mean they're right?
