Just an FYI, on the NCQMA homepage there is audio from our December meeting.... Something those that are in limbo may want to listen to.....

Mike -- There wasn't a vote (AGAIN)!!! The latest and greatest is -- they're going to have a QMA person come talk on 2/20 and vote at their first race on 2/27. Why are they waiting that long? My guess is because by then, all the other tracks will have their schedules posted and they will then say it's too late to change -- regardless of what the membership votes. They OBVIOUSLY don't want the membership to vote because they KNOW how it'll go.
BTW -- the spreadsheet was a NO BRAINER!!! All roads lead to USAC but they don't want to travel down the road!!!!

It is probably easier for them to look at your clubs work to fulfill Ziggy's promise to "look over the fence" than try to get past their own biases and take a subjective look. I think they should work on things like having a rule that limits you to a "single crankshaft" before they move to other issues. Again I ask, why does Tony have to work out QMA's issues on the USAC forum?

In the end, it doesn't matter to me who does and doesn't go either way. We are going to race at many different tracks this summer and will have to race whatever it is sanctioned. We are prepared either way. There are good people in both organizations but there are a few in each that brings out the negative. As for NGQMA, I see them being ran as a dictatorship. It is obviously their intent to extend their members vote for USAC as someone said to say it is too late for this year. Speaking for myself at MAQMA and not the rest of the members, we are going forward with our track as if they do not exist for our schedule. We have a points championship here that I think when announced will bring in many cars each race to contend for the prizes, 2nd to none. We have a good board and the members are responding by attending our monthly meetings. We are going to promote our track as well as USAC at many different venues. Everyone have a nice day.
Thanks,
Mike

Swartz -- OK you said to ask questions? What do you mean by run a single crankshaft?  ?? |

Many years ago a rule was put in place to eliminate multi part crank shafts. I'm told to keep the high dollar bike engines out. It was supposed to read "single piece crankshaft" the rule in the book, however, says "single crankshaft". It gets brought up every year and never gets changed. One of many.

Ok -- that seems a little nit picky. Don't the rules dictate what components can vary from the factory shipment? If so, I really don't see that as a big issue, there are much bigger issues.

What it addresses is 3 or 2 piece, usualy titanium, crankshafts with roller bearings that can cost thousands of dollars in the AA class.

You guys can fight somewhere else the fact is either tenn and cummings want change and a fresh slate or they want the same ol thing a fiffty year track record of diffrent agendas and as caldwell has shown even the rcp process for qma fails and that is the members only voice for change if they don't like the rcps than they can loss them as in the case this year so region 3 has no chance at change so there for metro and ncqma decides to try something diffrent and this thread was started because many people would love for these clubs to be on board and show qma that there are other options and we the members are not scared to that the steps needed to preserve and grow our clubs our members and the racing our kids love
