The district leads have been discussing this well before I started the thread here. We've been talking about it on and off for about 6 months now (not on public boards). I initiated conversation with the AMA and NEPG about a year ago on this very topic.... Part of that outcome led to D-14 making some class changes for the '07 season. I only started this thread to quickly get some additional feedback from riders. I had planned on posting an online survey so that a lot of midwest riders could provide input... But this got short-cycled once I found out the AMA needs a proposal by mid-August in order for them to consider it for '08.Fred T said:No what he means is that if the D 15, d 16, d17 d 23 and d 14 officers are not included in this on line conversation nothing will change. (Only one or two are aware of it as far as I can tell) gETTING ALL THOSE GUYS IN A ROOM TO COME TO AN AGREEMENT WILL BE NEARLY A MIRACLE. That's what he means-all the feedback here is useful in showing the guys that make decisions what the riders are looking for. Maybe if it's all printed in hard copy for them to read and discuss at an meeting that would help them. But they all have their personal views on this as well.
A link to this thread was sent to the midwest district leaders when it was first posted. I captured a snapshot of the discussion early this morning and forwarded it on to the district leaders. The unofficial cutoff for discussion (for my purposes anyway) was this morning. This is just one of the many inputs I'm looking for to help put together a proposal that works for the districts involved, and also has potential at the national level.
There are still many challenges in doing this, but even if we only implement some small changes that help, we are at least moving forward in a positive direction (not unlike an enduro!).
Cagivaman's comment was, if nothing more, ironic; I certainly could have saved myself a few hundred hours of personal / family time if I would have just sat back, let the clubs continue running their own systems, and posted whatever results were sent to me, when and if they are eventually sent to me.
Thanks for all the feedback guys.... Now it's time to figure out what to do with it!
