It seems this was a topic of conversation i had with John
Thunder, the infamous JT, whose persona was hidden by someone else's ego back
last fall about racing to the finish. You can call it the AERC, but to
some, AERC means American Endurance Race Conference, and some go to finish
and smell scents of endless surreal delights while others want to be the best of
the beasts and walk heads taller than mortals that day and both sides have valid
viewpoints. Human Nature it is, and we all exist somewhere in between
sometimes. Will RC change that viewpoint? No. Will discussion
change those points of view? Maybe, but i doubt it. Plan
for the worst and expect the best would be my advise to all Ride Managers
as they plan their finish line as you will never know what AERC Member may show
up there at the finish. And we are all Members are we not? and the
rest...for your own safety, please stay out of the way at the
finish. tom sites
