Need some opinions...

[jkale]

This forum's purpose is to voice opinions and share experiences related to the NEHA series. Im sorry for using it for that exact reason.

[Dave Patten]

Joey,
I tried to offer what I thought would be some constructive opinions. I guess you didn’t find any value in it given your prior post.

No loss on my part if you want to continue with the public bashing and sniping, that is your option as is the image that it presents of you as an individual (see the well stated post by haley735).

[jkale]

Well, thanks for your opinions.

[KevinGale]

Dave... thanks for posting that. I would have to agree that parties involved should reach out for a discussion

Steve

I'll second that.

You obviously have no idea what has been going on during the past few years at the hills besides what you have been reading on the internet.

When I stated I wanted opinions I should have been more clear.

I was asking for the opinions of people who are actually involved in the NEHA series. But thanks for regurgitating what you have gathered from the vast interweb.

opinions wanted- here ya go.....

while i was not there from what i have gathered is that there were a few folks who voiced displeasure with not running right up until 5 pm.

i see there was 6 runs made on sunday, 5 runs on saturday...that is good seat time for a fall ascutney.
if one had an issue with quitting early-they should have seeked out the chair, not control.
arguing will never get you anywhere, esp. when you are trying to plea that an all volunteer group should work right up to the last minute allowed.
from the social media circus, it seems like you are being a crybaby- gonna take your toys and go home. the right thing to do would have been to contact the SCCNH representatives in private before posting all over the internet. if that didnt work and you couldnt reach an amicable result- then perhaps voice your displeasure.
i think everyone should co-chair an event, to give them a real understanding of how things work, and just how hard it is to pull off.
airing out dirty laundry on the internet is a cur move. and equally disturbing is your dry snitching. it isnt going to help your cause, quite frankly its an extremely juvenille tactic.


you asked for the opinions.

the entire core NEHA group, the collective clubs that make it up, and the volunteers who make it all possible- are possibly the most laid back easy going folks you will ever meet in any sort of racing environment.

Oh--I think he might have a clue--since hes CO_CHAIRED Burke! Also worked the WRECKER CREW-champ in P2-oh--and you see all those hillclimb t-shirts from 2004-2006? HE had them made-and donated the profits to the club!!-Also probably the best aluminum welder/fabricator to run with us. He moved down south a few years back.
{ Greg! Dammit-stop lurking + check in more often-we all miss you!!! }

Keep in mind that hillclimbing existed before you got here.

Keep in mind that hillclimbing existed before you got here.

It didn't exist before John Marsha. One day he said, let there be a hillclimb in Vermont, and it was good.

[Number_5]

And with that we should take this off the forum.
Please?
Thanks
John Marsha

[Dave Patten]

John,
Nah, you deserve your time in the limelight. He could have claimed you were the one that invented dirt so the road bed could be made.

and besides wasn't it Smokey that came down off the mountain carrying 2 stone tablets with the hillclimb rules on them.

"wasn't it Smokey that came down off the mountain carrying 2 stone tablets with the hillclimb rules on them"-best part of the thread

BTW I was there, I can see both sides and wish this would get resolved in a reasonable manor. I am not a NEHA member but would hate to see participants try to rip apart their own event......(then you and I get no runs)
