shit---he definately knows you Alex---you egotistical son of a bitch!


but nefarious--like Paul said--step up to the plate
talk to the bosses at LRRS + set something up!

[Paul_E_D]

Nefarious,

Who are you talking to? If it's me, I wasn't addressing you. I've lost the thread here.

LRRS is run buy a handful of older men. computer savvy they are not. I think it would require a younger guy like nef getting seriously involved and work with Steve Aspland to correct this shortfall. That's all I meant to say.

[nefarious]

nope not you paul, sorry

ill go back and quote the person asking if i was even a racer or not.. like that has bearing on the fact the the site came down and you cant register online

Its all BS politics up there.

They've had MANY offers to redo all the websites for free.

One of them even came from Nick Kornfeld, the LRRS starter, who knows whats what with computers.

They turn them all down.

The problem is, as Paul pointe out, is are a bunch of old guys, and old guys don't like change.

I totally agree with you and paul and new if they wanted a site, free or 30k they would have it.

that doesnt change my opinion that the diffrence from what it is and what it could should be is like my laptimes vs Alex's

I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop on this board. Does no one realize Don is ban happy and more than happy to tear up a license if anyone criticizes him?

[HBerry]

If he bans someone cause they said the website sucked, that would be great!

ah well if thats the way my race legacy was to end, id say better off... (not that i think this we directed at me)

but if he wants to ban me have Alex point me out to him.....

Does LRRS really have that large a budget? I thought most of the reg/gate fees went to paying the track, cornerworkers, etc etc.

fwiw--LRRS is OWNED by NHIS, they don't need to pay the track--they ARE the track.

I've run with CCS and WERA at other tracks and the prices are the same as LRRS, but run more professionally and those are independant organizations.

Maybe LRRS is more organized in comparison to a mountain bike club, but until you try WERA, CCS, etc you won't realize how much LRRS is a private cash cow that they'll continue to milk.

He banned me cuz i said the results were wrong (which they were, and even suzuki agreed with me and paid me the $$ I was due).

Rather than admit he was wrong, he instead banned me from LRRS and made sure I couldn't race with CCS in another region as well.

Talk about corrupt.

His attitude is, "If you don't like the way we run things, get used to it, cuz we'll make sure you can't go anywhere else"

Wow.

Great reply Nefarous, really, thank you.

I said 'not a snide remark, a honest question' because.. I HONESTLY DIDN'T KNOW. After typing "Do you actually race up there" I said "Hrm, that might come across as a insult, let me add a plan English disclaimer afterwards"

Oh I'm so sorry I didn't remember your online internet Handle in conjuction with you personally, your phone number and email address memorized. You know how many people from this message board I've met in the last year at NHIS? Shit, I've talked to Steve (tiller) from ODFU like a million times and I completely didn't recognize him last weekend.

I look at your Avatar and sig and didn't see anything to jog my memory. I know most people from NHIS / Loudon by their numbers or bikes. Shit, Jaynnus said hi to me the other day and again.. I spaced out. I travel and meet so many people for my job, I can't even recall my bloody COWORKERS sometimes. Yea you are right thou, ask all the other NESR guys, I'm a real dick up at the track.


And yes, being a part of a organization and just being a sideline critic is a VERY valid question.

Nothing in my post was directed to you in a negative way, NOTHING. Unlike your crapfest directed at me. Thanks man, you have me pegged, hold up a minute while I tell these Rookie Racers to F-OFF instead of IM'ing me, cause lord knows in the 1 year I've been racing I've gone from newb to Jesus Christ.

I know exactly one single LRRS 'insider' on a more than casual basis. Yup, bigtime asskisser. You won't find me sleeping out in the grass with all the other normal folks. Oh no, it's wine and crackers up in the VIP seats.

You firing off the hip like that man.. wow, get your issues under control.



BTW: I'm a graphic designer / web developer by trade. Whoopee friggin doo.

Sounds like there was more to it than he said your times were wrong.

Yup, he plain out left people off the results and refused to look at the results afterward to even check. He said, 'the results being wrong is an impossiblity'.

and we all know how Don is never wrong

I didn't mean to start any wars, I just wanted to go to the lrrs site and maybe see some lap times. Lets all make up . Alex is a nice guy, not so sure about Jesus though, he doesn't have a beard . I just wanted to see if I made any progress over the weekend. And it's still not up!

[nefarious]

its all cool i harbor no ill will toward alex.

but really, once results are final.. there is no real reason why they shouldnt post almost instantly... hell pdfs can even be made from database queries

[Hardcore]

ALEX SUX
