Everything seemed awesome when Trackloholics canceled the track day on 6/11
Because of heavy rain. I thought that was awesome of them. But then we (WOS) show up from are rescheduled day. As we sit in the Rider meeting I here a little round man with a HUGE short man complex, going over the rules. So far the rules are the same across the board but then we get to the NO CRASH Policy. This means you can’t crash. As much fun as it is, you can’t do it. “If you crash you are out of here” the little man explained. I then start to think…..What are we as motorcycle racers trying to do out here? I think that we are trying to push the limits and get faster, as Trackoholics like to put in the brochures. How can we push the limits if not allowed to crash? Crashing is going to happen, as long as you’re not out there taking people out, a crash here or there is going to happen…I’m living proof. I like to think of my self as a good rider. Not a pro, but much better than most of the trash that gets out on the track. STT’s instructors now follow be hide me and advanced group is becoming boring due to my skills getting ever so slightly better. But a simple mistake on shift sent me off the bike. My bike was not ridable but if it was and they didn’t let me back out…oh we would have had a problem.
In short Trackoholics is a 2nd rate, low class, Want-a-be STT. They basically pick-up STT’s crumbs. They only go to Gratten and most of the time it is on the weekdays. STT is set-up for the Rider that wants to get better and faster. Yes crashing is never good but it is a part of racing and riding bike in general. As long as the guy understands what happened and why he ended up on his ass and his ride is still rolling let him on the track. Track-O-joke is for the catty, no talent; I have ridden all year in the novice class wieners and want-a-bee’s that venture to their events.
I think what really burnt me up the most is when I walked in the Tech Shed and herd the “So called” Instructors talking bad about the newer riders. Of coarse they will be slower and unsure. For most of them is their 1st time on the track. And they are more worried about “their” track time than helping their students out. What even make’s these people eligable to be an Instructor…I know a few of the Instructors for Track-o-joke from STT last year before they sold out to Track-o-joke and they have never attended a racing school in their life.
Anyway that’s all I have to say.
Long Live STT :lol:
