Motegi Haiku

After penning the "Motegi Haiku" on Saturday:

Misty mountains laugh
Fools travel across the sea
You are screwed, go home.

I was asked to commemorate this weekend's race with another haiku:

Swifter than the wind
Victory within his grasp
Shit Happens, you lose.

Jim Murphy, Guest Columnist J

 

MTM sells off equipment to Western Michigan Region

After the Winter MTM party, it was decided to keep the equipment at Grattan, and MTM sent letters to the affected regions stating we had no provision to move equipment anymore (i.e. no volunteer). WMR in turn stated they wanted the equipment out of their storage space under those circumstances. After dialog with WMR, it was decided that MTM should get out of the equipment business due to inability to maintain it or move it around from race to race. Detroit Region is fully equipped, GingerMan and is fully equipped, and any Region using that track is in good shape, so that left WMR with no equipment and to sell to them made sense. Gordy Ensing is working with Wayne Rogers, WMR RE on the price, which will be around $1000.

INR National was great for workers
Those who missed that event (INR National) missed an event where the organizers not only SAY they appreciate the workers, they show it. INR had plenty of great food, both days for lunch and Saturday dinner party. Freebies for the workers. If a worker needed something, BANG! It happened. I guess that's what happens when you have an event chair who is enthusiastic about putting on an event that the participants (all the participants, from workers to drivers to crew) will enjoy!
