[RC] Race (was: FACTS) - k s swigart

John Teeter said:


But, to really get to my point. IMO AERC
should never have sanctioned an event with
the "R" word in it's title. The "Race" in Great
Santa Fe Horse Race may have set the context
for all discussions of the event and the accident.


Probably, but if this is the case, then the Race of Champions is another
ride that the AERC will have to deny sanctioning to were it ever to be
revived.

The AERC has always had and continues to have a bit of a love hate
relationship with the word "race."

And not just the word, but also the concept.

It may be time for the organization to do as the Duck suggests and
separate the rides from the races since he is clearly quite right that
the rules necessary for safely administering each are quite different.
And right now, the rules the AERC has are inadequate for safely
administering a race and overly strict for administering a ride.
