i dont remember but i think it was just well intentioned volunteers who just maybe got in over their heads…
just trying to maybe shed some light on why things are the way they are… so as not to repeat history over again…
i think what happened was in the beginning of the yr someome stepped up to the plate and was in charge of the jackets/ state awards/pres cup jerseys..then as the season ended this person was no longer in volved with the workings of the state and low and behold there was no one doing the jackets/ ordering getting sizes etc so jeff stepped up and took over with whatever info was given him. i think that year the pres cup jerseys were forgotten about as well maybe the same person was in charge…?
this is what happens when someone offers to help then for whatever reason they dont come thru…. maybe thats the reason some of the state “old timers” are reluctant to be as enthusiastic as most of the newbies on here….( by that i mean new to the workings of njbmx) after being burnt a few times by people who come out with guns blazing to have that job put back in thier lap again…well its hard to let someone new take over certain things…. i can see thier hesitancy with this type of thing.. commitment is tough to come by and finishing what you started is even harder it seems in the world of bmx…
i would think the state registration person would love this idea/ less work for him/her. in other states it is accepted /normal to preregister only…its the folks who pay the day of the race who are in the minority. what they do is pre register everyone then come race day there are 2 lines..1 for pre registered check in, the other for post registration. the rider just goes and checks in with registration booth( very quick line moves fast) gets a ticket then goes to bike inspection. no ticket/ no inspection/ no practice. the ticket is then put in a bucket for a rider raffle to be pulled later on when they do the 50/50. kind of nice. this is how they monitor who is on the track also ( i remember we had a prob a while back with riders practicing and crashing who were not registrerd for that days race) that eliminates that prob for sure.
anyway if all the riders pre registered you could almost have the moto sheets done ahead of time and just add in last min stragglers.. i would think??
craig danny is getting you the contact info you asked about…. hes just a little slow /sorry i have his moms email will pm you with that to start with..
there are pics posted on the yahoo groups site looks like they did a heck of alot of work
looks like it was a nice day to me
i want to find one of those neck braces ….
i would assume if one had an excell worksheet/ financial statement to show monthly…that those numbers would have to have come from a bank statement plus receipts from things purchased? correct? ya cant make that stuff up…
also i was aware and involved at the time that the state clerk was allowed to get pd a small stipend for doing the points for all the kids since it was shown to be very time consuming and whatever the reasons were ( i dont remember) but why is the referree paid again? i dont remember that being a paid position. what exactly is the referee? is there only 1 for the whole state? i was told that in ct they have 1 or 2 referrees for each track and depending on the state race location that that referree is the person in charge of disputes for the day..a friend of mines husband has this position for trumbul thats how i was told. so they have a minimum of 4 referees for ct( at least 1 for each track and possibly a backup in case they cant be at the state race) but no one gets paid. they get a food voucher for the day and i think their rider gets their race entry pd for the day ( big whoppee i think it costs $8 for a state race if you pre register in ct) and believe me they ALL pre register/ its highly encouraged.
so can someone tell me what the nj “referree” does to get paid or what his responsibilities are? ( who is it anyway??) not being sarcastic i am just curious. thanks
