First off I was being light hearted about it. It seems you missed the humor. I
realize now, that given your personal involvement, it did not come off that way
to you. In my defense, you'll notice I did not post any names, facts, OR even MY
own opinion, of the event that unfolded that night.
I was being completely honest when I said it would be "interesting" to hear from
those closest to the event. I had listened to the regular DCMX show and they
were sort of joking about it, reading an email and tossing around the idea of
calling one of the parties involved. So naturally, I thought it would be even more
open in the "quad only" show.
My second post was right on the money, as you stated everyone decided to "take
the high road". Which meant nobody was going to talk much about it, other than
"pleasantries" that is. So when I said I was "amazed", that was the truth. And now
you explained why(Sponsorship considerations).
Quads typically do not have what dirt bikers have due to one reason alone, numbers.
The day when you have as many quads show up to race as you do bikes well, you
will get even treatment. Other than that, we're a minority. And what do minorities do,
ask (some consider it complaining) to be treated the same. Repeatedly.
Other then commenting about your dislike of my post, I think you should have stayed
on the "high road". It seems you had an agreement NOT to talk about it in detail. Now,
one side has been presented, by you in written text on an open forum, while the other
is not. Kind of seems a bit disingenuous.
I get along with most everyone at the track/races. I love watching/riding/every now
and again racing. Even though I understand business-wise the initial "hush hush" of it
all, as a matter of principle I find it hard to accept that things get "swept under the
table". I'm 'ole school for a reason[jus' turned 45]
Hehe
Be aware that, I do not simply take sides as a matter of who I am friends with. I am
one of the most unbiased persons at the track. For the very simple fact no one out
there is a relative/son/daughter of mine.
In the end, know I truly wish everyone the best as far as racing is concerned
Well, actually there was one person I didn't feel that way towards, but he quit racing
so I don't have to feel bad about that anymore now do I?! LOL
Sincerely,
- Dan
