Bob, Thanks, but no apologies are necessary.
I agree that reasonable people will have different opinions and thats normal and OK. My main gripe is really with the seemingly constant negativity that is on this site. Before I started attending the SCTA meetings, I was part of the negativity around here (what? you don't believe me? look at some of my older posts!). Once I started attending these little get togethers, I realized how wrong, and unfair I had been to the people who were running the SCTA.
As I have posted before, it's easy to be critical of others after the fact, in fact, it's so easy, some people seem to devote thier entire existance on this site to doing it. But it's damn hard to go in there and try to do the right thing, day in and day out. Mistakes will be made, hopefully learned from. But when they are made, lets make the best of the situation and move on, not harp endlessly about it.
The guys who volunteer to help do the day to day work that is required to let us go racing are dedicated, hard working, and (despite what a few bad apples around here keep yammering on and on about) very honest. But we are all human.
Sometimes I see this site bring out the worst in people and it can give new people the wrong impression. I have never met a group of people I would rather spend my free time with than the LSR guys, both El Mirage and Bonneville, but somehow, people who would do anything to help a fellow racer out get on this forum and bitch and moan at each other, make accusations, make insinuations and such that simply would not happen face to face.
But enough with all this crap. El Mirage is this weekend, the dirt is awesome and we got cars to get ready!
