Subsequent to the topic from Keith campbell about the letter with his log book, I have a question.
What is the process for decision making?
From all accounts the LCB's[ Local Controlling Bodies] have sent their responces to the MA [ Motorcycling Australia]Historic commission for consideration. The National Historic Commission met some time ago and the minutes have not yet been released. It is my understanding that the MA Board need to ratify the minutes prior to publication.
The MA Board does not met until next week and yet Keith Campbell has recievd a letter from MA telling him as follows, last week.
"This motorcycle is subject to reinspection post the introduction of the philosophy of Historic Motorcycle Racing in 2005 and may be withdrawn subject to the observations made by the inspector."
Now the LCB's made no comments about any Philosophy of Historic racing and they were not asked about the subject either.
So what is the process please?

| John as a rep. for all of us racers can this be forwarded to M.A. on behalf of all riders by you or should we all be filling their "in tray" with mail? |

I have spoken with people today.
The MA Board will on Wednesday consider a plan about a Philosophy Of Historic motorcycle racing. This Philosophy is something which has not been widely canvassed. I have been informed that MA believes they have the right to take a lead in given directions for the betterment of the sport.
I have been assurred that copies of the minutes of this meeting would be available once they have been written and approved by all participants. It is exected that the approval process would take a couple of weeks.
So I guess the real question is where does this "power" to bring in things come from? |

John, your question :
'So I guess the real question is where does this "power" to bring in things come from?'
I suggest it comes from the beginnings of the Auto Cycle Union in the early speedway years, when the riders union negotiated with promoters for their conditions and pay (?). MA isn't any different from other unions, it's strength comes from its members (us). When MA brings in a rule and enforces it, what we are effectively feeling is the will of the whole motorcycle racing community. I suggest this is why the democratic process is important.

Is your machine authentic or merely eligible? |

Today I had a call from David White.
He advised that yes the Board had been developing a Philosophy of Historic racing which they beleive will help the sport. He advised that the Board has decided to have consultation with States and that he would expect full details of the proposals to be delivered within 7 days. In response to the note attached to Keith Campbells Log book, Dave White advised that MA would write to Keith and with draw that statement since it is not correct. |
