c’mon guys, stop the argument okay. I think what BMX901 means is from what everyone can see it should be pretty obvious who (meaning a certain group) is probably doing this.
I am trying to be a referee here, not taking sides. I live 135 miles away from EHT but do care about it since it was technically my home track this year if you go by number of races I did there (more at EHT than CJ & HC combined).
My one major complaint about forums is you can not hear voice inflection so you never truly know the other person’s full intent when they wrote their post. We all try to infer the meaning and then arguments start. No, I am not expecting everyone to be nicey-nicey here, but if ya gotta beef with someone, pm them and try and have a conversation off line.
If we all work together we stand a better chance of stopping the vandalism at EHT. Its a public park, so its impossible to completely stop it, but lets keep trying.
Chris, I know you said the town blames it on the track and some residents would love to find an excuse to replace it, but do you think its worth some publicity? I know when stuff like this happens to any other public place in my area, I usually see a photo with a caption and maybe even a short story in my local paper to help bring awareness to the problem. If the right picture is painted, hopefully more residents will keep their eyes open.
But, lets all agree, its gotta be someone or a group with relative proximity to the track.
But Chris, one other thing you said makes me wonder: you’re saying the wires to the starting hill are “hot” all the time? There is no switch to turn that off? If so, then as you said, whoever cut it either got shocked and might have needed a trip to a hospital, or someone had the proper insulated tools. How clean was the “cut”? Just curious.
