There's a lot we don't know about that happens behind the scene setting up an event like this. It's not just our board that has to work together, the registry is working with the GS registry and the ncm to plan an event. This is a bit like trying to plan cross company picknick at an amusement park, does this happen in any other place then pittsburgh? Never been sure, but I digress. I trust the board did everything they could to make this event happen and put out the agenda as soon as they possibly could, it's not like anyone would want to put in all the time to this organization that they do to put on a half assed event.

This applies to the track day as well. There is far more involved to an HPDE day then showing up at noon, running 4 laps and then taking off to a road tour or seminar. Your day is going to start before 0700, drivers meeting at 0730, then split groups of tracking. Not how I want to spend my day honestly. The day isn't "free" either. We may not have to rent the track but corner workers aren't free, nor is EMS. There is so many more moving parts to just showing up and doing a few laps. Not to mention that not all the antedates are coupes, which adds to the headache of making HPDE happen.

I don't see "powerplays" happening on the board, I see a group of people who are dedicated to a car that has long since aged out of being the dominant car in GM's line up who are working to keep that car in the public's eye and GM's as well. When was the last time you saw GM say anything about our car? It's been a long time. GM also doesn't want to restore the spyder, the board is working to make that dream happen.

I can't get into what happened with David, but if he was removed, I'm sure there was a reason for it.

You want an explanation, declare that to the entire readership. State you don't want to make any Enemy's then you openly challenge the mods. Even those that have nothing to do with what your complaining about. How about PMing a mod before attempting to stir up the issue here maybe one of the other mods have the answers to your questions? Kind of an adult and novel idea maybe? Maybe you should take a breath, count to ten and rethink what you meant to say. You know all us mods are ZR-1 enthusiasts as well and we all work for free. I don't want an apology, mod your own post and dial down the tone. Your call. Kevin has tried to explain some of this too you as well.

And. PM SENT

GC,

I was not personally attacking you, nor Kevin, nor any other moderator. I appreciate that Kevin took time to respond, and I can understand everything he had to say.

Your post is akin to the playground bully tempting a fight. I appreciate everything you guys do and am not interested in a fight.

I consider David Johnson a friend. I would also consider all of you friends, but I guess I know him more so.

In my original post I stated that I do NOT know the whole story. ...practically none of it actually.

I did witness removal of the post that attempted to explain part of one person's side of the story. Before that, I also witnessed another post that personally attacked our event coordinator.

Beyond that, I have just been making observations. GC, if anyone is ramping up the tone, you might be. If you took my post wrong, I apologize.

In the end, I hope you read between the lines to the true intent of my message.

Some of the posts here have pertained more to stirring the pot and "why a BOD resigned". We have other threads that can be posted to regarding resignations. This is NOT the thread for that topic.

I would challenge "anyone" to plan an event and have an agenda ready to submit by Xmas time. It just doesn't work like this.

And yes, if your post in this thread is not contributing to the title of the thread, and only causes disruption, it will be deleted for violating Forum Rule #12. In this case, you are welcome to start a new Thread with a new title.

Healthy dialogue is a good thing but I will not allow Forum Rules to be broken and that particular dialogue to fester.

There are currently two threads pertaining to resignations. This thread is NOT the place for that discussion. I am directing that discussion to those threads.

Thank you
Brett
