We intend to keep everyone informed on the progress. Ginny (my ex) is going to be in contact with Donna at the NBL this week and have her come to the meeting to make the presentation.
She also had a lengthy discussion with Tedesco and Don Olson about it. Once she mentioned the trigger word (ABA) she had his undivided attention. They’re all for it (why wouldn’t they be) but now we have to get Scot Cranmer to try to attend the meeting too. I have a lot of background video to add to it. The meeting is next Saturday.I keep you updated.

I personally met Clint (Airport FF) today and we talked about the new track in North Jersey. Lots of good stuff going on.

Ant…Matt (my son on the pink felt) said that Pat is a damn good kid. Be proud to have him on your team. It’s a shame that there weren’t more 14 novs there. But you race the race just the same.

relax folks just having a little fun. I am all for a new track take a joke people enjoy life quit being so serious!! There was no racial bias in that what so ever so dont even go there. Ever read a book called wierd NJ its pretty popular!!!! write that author and call him biased or racial.
It’s not a matter of taking a joke. From their point of view it’s a slur that they find offensive. And if they read this they will interpret it that that’s how people think. Whether the comment was made in fun or not. They’ve spend years dealing with this very subject. Put it this way…it is their version of the “N” word.
I’m not trying to be the heavy on this. They want to do this (for everyone). They feel that it would help people understand their culture more and show that they aren’t what most people view them as. And should they read this thread I can almost guarantee that all bets will be off.
I know that you meant it as a joke. But it wasn’t the best timing I’ve ever seen.@miken1973 wrote:
Wierd NJ jackson whites up hthere
Those “jacks and whites” (that’s the correct term) that you are referring to are the ones that would like to build a track for people like you to ride.
They want to do something to help their community and it’s something that my son has inpired them to look into. They are also part of my sons heritage. So take it easy. That’s a very touchy subject and one that may get your ass kicked if the wrong person heard it.
The sad thing is that I gave the Chief links to the various threads on the subject. So this may be done before it ever gets started thanks to comments such as yours.
So before you start flinging racial comments about people you don’t know. Maybe do a little research on the subject.http://www.ramapoughlenapenation.org/index.php

It’s comments like that that will torpedo this idea before we get any info together at all.
Sorry that I didn’t get here to post it. Glad you had my back Rich. 🙂
