1) To all those who rode today at Middleboro...shame on you 2) To all of those who did ride and said the protested riders were cry babies who could not ride the track ... shame on you.

For those who do not know, the experts and 100 or so other riders protested the track conditions and refused to ride today. So the many who did ride, wined all day on how the experts were the real babies for packing up and leaving. You thoughtless riders. Don't you understand that the experts are very capable of riding the track under those conditions. IT IS YOU THE LAME DUCK THAT RODE TODAY THAT MISSED THE POINT. They did it for YOU, the novice, the amateur, the weekend rider, the give my paycheck to promoterX so I can ride 2 full laps on your great track. (thank you very much)

You guys that rode today should sit down and think "yea, them guys are right" - I should get off my selfish axx and support the cause.

What is the "CAUSE". A) Better prepared tracks - NO promotor yelling and trashin' of riders B) Less multi-classes - go back to originals and 15 minute motos C) Rider participation in descesions that effect NESC ORGANIZATION -so when is the next rider/nesc meeting Mr 'rider rep' Mikalson? D) Equal balance of votes so riders can have imput and effect as to out come of descesions concerning OUR rider organization

We should form a riders meeting after the next race, say Bull Run after Saturday afternoons' races. To further discuss our thoughts. All in favor submit an "I will attend" and be a part of OUR rider organization N.E.S.C.

After all - I do work all week to spend my money to participate in the endurance sport of motocross ... but 3 classes fo

if you really want to hit them where their wallet is then don't go to maine because we all know yvon is the biggest jerk that runs NESC and he should be the first one to lose money on a race day. Maybe if he didn't make enough money to pay his 3 or 4 flaggers he has on the track then the riders would be listened to. We will be at Jolly Rogers just like we were the last Maine race, because as far as we are concerned Yvon will not get anymore of our money!!!!

the five riders that rode today should be ashamed,we finally get the experts to unify so we can try to improve our track.im especialy pissed at steve burdette who is a former national rider(8th in 1984 national series).steve was not even entered in the expert class,but the chance to make some money must be more important the anything. Next week in maine i plan to hold a riders only riders meeting.please email me if you plan to be there. thank you leo candidus

ok u can think wut u want but some of these people are getting to caried away. JAN HOPKINS went up to a guy that was just standing watching the races with his riding gear on and called him a "f-in a- hole" for riding. i think this is completly outragous! there is no reason for some1 to say this at all! how is a person going to get any better at riding if the cant ride everytime a person wants to protest. a person has the right to say whatever they want about a certain subject but not to yell at someone because they disagree! nesc is what should be punished not the riders! just one race isnt going to do anything. maine is the only track that will make a difference if people didnt go and protested because it is yvones track, but if a person decideds not to protest they sould not be yalled at all day long!

i agree. the 5 riders who rode today should be for warned that come next weekend they have a big bullseye printed in bold on their backs. (i hope god is on their side) see ya next weekend. great job leo on bringing us all togehter.

I'd like to start by saying that I no longer go to Middleboro because of the poor track conditions. I'm not surprised at what has occured today. I feel the only solution to our problem is to organize and promote our own races. I believe this is easier to do than the N.E.S.C. has led us to believe. After all, what is the N.E.S.C., without us....nothing. It always amazed me that 9 people, six of whom don't ride, could dictate to 1,600 of us. I am very proud that the experts, along with the hundred or so others, finally said enough is enough. I think we should take the next couple of days and plan out the next course of action and act upon it. I would personally be willing to take on the challenge of organizing and promoting a rider racing organization and races. JACK call me, #92-no longer #92V.

funny how in the past 6-7 years we have been racing the "experts" only protest at Middleboro Must be because the losers who work for NESC "that includes jan hopkins for attacking a rider with her big mouth" are stuck up yvon's butt( that word is used for all the young riders who read this and probably heard all the foul language used today by the so called adults that are a part of this problem). And for 92 you are not an expert you never earned your points thru the amatuer classes you are still only a VET advanced which means you are supposed to ride with yellow backgrounds and black # because you can only ride vet or amatuer classes if you want to ride with the EXPERTS then race the amatuer classes and earn your points.

-- sue (emersonlandclearing@mediaone.net), June 25, 2000.

well i see u guys beat me to the punch on this topic ,ive been trying to do this for a long time we need to hit these lame promoters in their wallets . we finally united together and made are point.now we should ask our RIDER REP gary mikalson to resign hes a track rep not ours and he proved that today,norman u cannot buy us some of us dont need your money i dont race for money i race because i love the sport and MOST of the people their.watch out maine and southwick cause your next.we are ready to bury any track that doesnt conform to OUR rules!

-- JACK CAMELIO (jack camelio@aol.com), June 25, 2000.

NESC has to change because they are tearing everyone apart wether it is friends or familys. everyone is fighting over this and it is stupid. i thought motocross was supposed to be a family sport. if this is true then y is every1 threatening to beat some1 up because they dont agree with wut another person is saying. wut ever happened to dirtbikers gettin so much bull from environmental so they stayed together? now everyone is mad at everyone else and fighting. they are threatning every1 that doesnt agree and that is stupid!

-- (m_ms@yoyomail.com), June 26, 2000.

Sue, FYI, I obtained the proper points needed for advancement to expert not only in NESC races. As required, on my NESC renewal form I listed them. At which time NESC chose to advance me. Bury the hatchet and rivalry, already. I thought you were for riders sticking together? What constructive ideas do you have to get better tracks, etc.? I'm sure you agree that picking on each other and bashing solves nothing.

-- Thomas MIozzi (miozzipaving@aol.com), June 26, 2000.


Tom, sorry i must have been wrongly informed but as far as constructive suggestions to make tracks better, don't ride the tracks you don't like and ride the ones you do. NESC isn't going to change just because the experts don't ride at middleboro and on the other hand if an amatuer wants to ride middleboro he shouldn't be trashed because he does. We ride where ever we want on what ever weekend we want to. Our son chose to go to Middleboro for the timed motos in the amater classes this past weekend and we chose to go to clavarack ny for our daughter to be able to ride safely in her class instead of with the 40+ guys that are fast and that is freedom of choice in our house. Maine is a track we are not going to because we don't feel yvon deserves our money but we are trashing everyone that is going to race there. everbody should just start racing other organizations for a couple of races and see how stressfree your weekends can be and how much fun it is we have and are enjoying ourselves that doesn't mean we arent racing NESC anymore we are just picking which ones WE want to race not which ones anyone tells us to race.

-- sue (emersonlandclearing@mediaone.net), June 26, 2000.

that was supposed to say we arent going to maine because he doesn't deserve our money and we are not trashing everyone who does (bad at typing)

-- (emersonlandclearing@mediaone.net), June 26, 2000.

ALL YOU PEOPLE NEED TO GET A LIFE. IF YOU DONT LIKE NESC THEN DONT RACE THERE, BUT DONT SIT AND COMPLAIN ABOUT IT YOU BABY'S THANK YOU HAVE A NICE DAY

-- (moto637@aol.com), June 26, 2000.

Dear Yoyo

I am not in the habit of walking up to any rider and calling them "f- in A-holes". If you want to bash someone at least sign your name.

Sue: I can't believe you even believe this.
