Hi Dan,
Thanks for clearing up a few things. I'm happy to see that you are happy with the operational and technical teams at BMST. I've always found them to be a great crew too.
I just want to be clear...
FIM and 2Club
1. FIM entries, that meet 2 club criteria, set at BMST, a previous BUB event, or at a Mike Cook event are acceptable for consideration for club membership.
2. The reason that FIM entries from BMST or BUB are "OK" is because that team holds the competitors to the rigorous standards of FIM by ensuring compliance with rules, and the saftey/operational aspects of the meet for FIM are top-notch?
AMA and 2Club
3. AMA records are being excluded from 2club consideration because of personal experiences being voiced on this forum?
3a. Moving forward, do you have any specifics or criteria for getting the AMA records considered for the 2 club?
As for Lorig, I've been wanting to attend and hope to next year. Since I haven't seen their operation in person, I can't really comment on their operational capabilities.
Thanks!
At BMST there is a FIM representative on site to certify the records. The tech and certification workers are under his supervision and he can deny a record if there is a problem with the bike. In addition to the technical part of the event he must oversee the operational side, ensure the timing and course set up meets FIM standards, etc. I have absolutely no problem with Drew and the others who work the event. Take the time to research all the threads on the site that followed each BUB, now BMST, event in the past. You will see a lot of personal experiences that were unsatisfactory to the competitors.
