Team "Pro"Motion?

[wannabe110]

I can relate several instances at Summit Point where we have had to call on our net for an ambulance for a crash on the Jefferson that the NESBA corner worker either didn't see or didn't know how to respond to.

I have personally WATCHED at Turn 3, a worker for NESBA on the Jefferson have a bike go down, walk onto the track with his flag, with bikes moving at race speed, to cross the track and check on the rider.

I would like to modify my statement regarding NESBA workers to specifically address workers that I have personally seen on the Jefferson Circuit at Summit Point.

I'm really dissapointed with this statement. Really. My name is Dutch and I am the Mid Atlantic director for NESBA. I run all the Summit Point events for the club. The corner workers being used at all of our events are supplied by the track. NESBA pays Summit Point for the use of their corner workers. We would gladly and happily use MARCC workers at all of our events if that was an option presented to us. In the future I would appreciate it if you would find out the facts before posting. If you don't believe me I'm sure Maria could clarfiy this for me. EmerWill I know who  you are from my involvement as a race official with another org as well as my involvement with NESBA. I had no idea you held us in such low regard. Please make sure you are not burdened with working any more of our events if the opportunity should arise.

Man, this thread is getting out of control.  Free Love!  Free Love!  Peace, man!  With liberty and justice for all!  God loves you!

I agree.  

And I am adult enough to admit I made an ass of myself.  I shouldn't have thrown NESBA under the bus just to make a point.  

I also shouldn't have assumed that NESBA takes anyone they can get to be corner workers(that was my fault for listening to what someone else told me instead of checking it out for myself).

I am sure someone gave Jim and call and told him he better come check the CCS message board cuz some guy was trashin him.  Well now it looks like I have egg on my face.

Apology accepted and no ill will on my end. I'll have a cold one waiting for you in my pits at the next event   8)

In an attempt to turn things a little more positive........ If any cornerworkers would care to give a thumbs up to any group for running a safe, professional program. That might be useful.

Okay, I have worked two ReDuc events, once @ BeaveRun and once @ Summit. They are stand up folks. I enjoyed myself thoroughly both times....except for my small case of Cat Scratch Fever while @ BeaveRun. My hands were so swollen I could barely get them in my Mechanix gloves.  :-/

MARRC Track Days? Are you kidding me? I had NO IDEA they did em too! I'll have to check them out sometime.   ::)

Haven't worked a NESBA event, but I'm sure it would be enlightening.

I've also done a couple of CCS track days @ Summit...and we all know how THOSE CCS folks are.  ;D

Ok R6 Philly,  

I am a member of Team Pro-Motion and have been satisfied with their track days in comparison to many other organizations.  I am a licensed CCS racer and a pace rider for other organizations l  I was there July track day.  First of all, you don't need to rag on the corner workers at all....whether they left you shorthand or not.  If you have something you weren't pleased with.  You would talk to them as they deserve to be talked to, adults.  Use constructive critisim here, don't just bash on them....no one deserves that!
Secondly, thanks for the airfences and making them using for CCS/FUSA.  CCS/FUSA are great organizations but tend to be a little lazy when it comes to certain things.  My boyfriend set up those airfences on Friday or Thursday.
Third, if the owner of team promotion blow his engine in turn 8, you don't ride the remainder of the track to turn into the pits.  you get the hell of the track right away.  you don't leave oil there from t8 to the freaking pits.  That's going to stay there awhile and now I got something extra fun to look for at my next racing event. I don't care who you are, you get off the track.

I think we should just let this thread die!   ;)  There is no need for any more public discussions about what had happened in whoever's view.  This public discussion can only do more harm than good!  I am speaking from persoal experience!   :-[  

I too saw things differently during the WERA Cycle Jam VIR event on Saturday although most disagreed.  That discussion turned out to be a disaster especially for me personally (some of you knew it already).   :'(  My intend was to air my opinion/view and help WERA improve their service although Mongo/Sean is firm on believeing that WERA scored a 10 on a scale from 1 to 10 in running that event (I still disagree).  Anyway, it would be better if I had chosen to speak to Mongo/Sean and/or any WERA officials about my complaints/dissatisfaction about it to help them to see what some customers see differently and perhap an opportunity for them to improve their service to the customers.  

Anyway, no matter what really happened, let's all hope that TPM will be better and keep improving (can never be too good!)!    ;)
