Riled up.

I shall endeavor to get a copy of the track contract from someone.
Perhaps Janeen, or Lisa can help with that.
Ya see if those little 2 tracks go alone to fight something bad it’s not quite gonna work….
But if 4-5 tracks begin to band together, say we’ve had it,we’re making a stand.
DAMMIT, make a stand, what the hell is everyone so afraid of? Are the kids suffering right now? The local racing scene is all but dead. The nationals are there only to feeda rolling atm machine. The annual, “meeting of the minds” gets nothing done.
Does no one but myself wonder why this is the way it is?

I WANT A COPY OF THE NBL’S TRACK CONTRACT.

One other thing, I dont think the NBL cares about the local tracks. If a track is lost to the ABA,or just shuts down,it means nothing to them. NBL from a busniess standpoint does not understand why its bad. No clue. Undrestand that NBL is a mom and pop shop at best,at best. This is not a corporation with vision. If it was, things would have improved like ten years ago. The time to improve and progress BMX was twenty years ago. The ball was rolling,now the same pepole who did nothing then are still there and doing nothing. How on earth can you get through to these people. I am not sure you can.

You’re keeping in step
In the line
Got your chin held high and you feel just fine
Because you do
What you’re told
But inside your heart it is black and it’s hollow and it’s cold

Just how deep do you believe?
Will you bite the hand that feeds?
Will you chew until it bleeds?
Can you get up off your knees?
Are you brave enough to see?
Do you want to change it?

What if this whole crusade’s
A charade
And behind it all there’s a price to be paid
For the blood
On which we dine
Justified in the name of the holy and the divine

Just how deep do you believe?
Will you bite the hand that feeds?
Will you chew until it bleeds?
Can you get up off your knees?
Are you brave enough to see?
Do you want to change it?

So naive
I keep holding on to what I want to believe
I can see
But I keep holding on and on and on and on

Will you bite the hand that feeds you?
Will you stay down on your knees?

Brett,

Somewhere on this board a few months ago I posted my lawyers detirmination of the so called contract and basically it was found out not to be worth the paper it was printed on. See if you can dig up that old post.
What happened at the track in Binghampton Ny, Sheri Lindsey, according to George Elmy is the city, who owns the track and property, just didn’t want to go thru the hassle of fighting the NBL, and that is what the NBL is banking on,..no fight.
The city solicitor just didn’t want to get invloved even though it was a no-brainer.

Do what I would do..simply switch and let the NBL bring on the fight… chances are that won’t happen especially if you have a lawyer ready and willing to represent you.

Brett, I really dont think NBL will fight anything. They dont have the recources,people,time, or wherewithall to do anything. Right now they have many other prolbems that need attention. I still dont know if going ABA will work,mabey it will. I aggree that massive change is nessary,and if done right,everbody will benifit. Fifteen years ago a new sancition was formed,ICA,and that did not fly. At the time,it was a great idea. The program was cool,and the one race I went to was great. Mabey that is the way to go,I dont know.
