    Practice Sessions at NHIS

    From Jerry Wood on the near list (Yahoo! groups; NEAR)


    Gang,

    There is a movement to change the way that we do practice at LRRS. If
    implemented, this would be a dramatic change from the way that we do it
    now. When we have a proposal ready, I would like to post it here for
    discussion and feedback BEFORE we make the changes. The rider reps are
    working on it now along with Eric.

    What we need now is a membership drive to NEAR so we can get an opinion
    from as many folks as possible. Please ask everyone on the other lists
    and riders who normally don't bother to participate. Tell them that
    most of the real meatballs went away and this might be a useful tool
    for feedback.

    They can get it digest form and we will title it "practice".

    JW

    When I have an official proposal, I will post it up here. I would like constructive feedback. We are trying really hard to make this work for everyone. We want everyone to have more quality track time for practice.

    Cool man, definitely post up the proposal. I've tried to get used to Yahoo Groups, but just can't deal w/ it.

    "Unequal" practice time has been an issue for a while now, it's cool to see they're trying to address it.

    One a side note; is there any time that is good for making a rule change? It seems the more time in advance, the more arguements there are.

    Pete, I have an LRRS section on my forums section. I've been trying to get Jerry to post up there, but he hates change. If we get enough people to post there he'll use it. Email him and every one else so we can have one place to post, not dozens of emails and a full in box. Plus those who sneak a peak at work can see it. They wont have to hide emails from the boss.

    I second this idea as I can't do NEAR at work.

    We can just start using it, email jerry and the near list. Tell them why you would rather use a BBS format

    We do have a pit area on this BBS board and a thread that's already been started.

    It's all water under the bridge, and we do enter the next round-robin. Am I wrong?

    I started my board because it's neutral, not affiliated with any other site, advertisers or agenda. Also because I'm trusted with in the organization. There is nothing wrong with NESR, but you will never get any LRRS official to post LRRS news here. Every thing you guys get is hear say. We need a place to post official rule changes, announcements, and other news. I've offered it for a year now and the problem is getting Jerry, since he posts more often than any other official, to embrace the BBS system. NEAR is a list serve system. It works ok, but not great for what we need. There are currently at least three BBS's on the web running comments and opinions on the same subject. We need one central location.

    I think it will be harder to regulate but better for everyone if it works.

    So, what exactly is the proposed change then? Or, even inexactly. Whatever exactness you can deliver, we'll work from there.

    You'll have to wait, it being fine tuned and not yet ready for public comment.
