one more candidate question
Fri, 10/30/2009 - 7:37am
this is more of a personal question than a position question, but play along with me here. please don't qualify or limit your answers in anyway:
"If you could change one thing about bike racing, what would that one thing be?"
Was a secret payroll! Now I'm going to have the IRS all over me every time I try to deposit that money into my Farallon Islands offshore account.
Thanks for your kind words Tony.
Too late, I have Warren on my secret payroll as an adviser with a no-compete clause.
Can I nominate Warren? I don't know him but he sure has great insight and good ideas! Run Warren, Run!

If a promoter offered a fields listed as something like,
W4a,
along with a second field listed as "W4b-riders with fewer than 10 races"
I don't think there would be much "sandbagging" in the W4b field.
Maybe the NCNCA can have a little influence over races that are asking for "grants". Just add some relevant criteria for receiving the grant money.
That's a big question.
I think if I had the ability, I would allow districts more authority to arrange categories and rules so that it suits the size and uniqueness of that specific district better.
Example, our district could benefit by having a Category 5 Womens field. There might only be a few other district in the country that have enough Women racers to justify the additional category.
Another rule would be to allow NCNCA to work closer with promoters to establish additional guidelines for events. There have been a lot of great suggestions on this forum that the NCNCA has no authority to enforce. It's unfortunate.
