As first a member with the MRA,Mountain Roadracing Association and then a longer term member with the MRA Motorcycle Roadracing Association, I wish to sincerely apologize for my negative input and any damage that any of you may feel that I have caused. I in essence, wish to bury the hatchet. I admit to displaying immaturity that is fairly and quite frankly is embarrassing to admit.
I have written Chris Dale, your director of timing and explained to him that it was he that during the first race of the year, accused me of cheating, he had admitted it and later called and apologized after the incident that he was only joking. I did not at the time tell him of an event later that same day, when I heard a new or "novice" racer point at me and say "that guys a cheater". I, at the time, felt as if what one hears as a new member stays with them and influences their opinion of the senior or experts in the club. After competing with the best of them on some of the best of bikes as well as some of the most antiquated, believe my reputation as a professional racer stands for itself.
Regardless and due to an ongoing battle with my x-wife who in July of 2009, received a DUI and child abuse charges when she picked our sons up at summer day camp have been in a very bitter and ongoing battle with her or should I say her and her attorney Ira "the asshole Greshler" on who's the more responsible and suitable parent.
I have had the boys full time since that time with her only having supervised visitation 13 hours a week and have continued to have to pay child support. I personally gladly and happily accept the responsibility and the diversity of being a parent and hope that I will be finally win full custody and parental responsibility/decision making when and ever we have our day in court.
I have been accused of you name it, but basically my character has been challenged, questioned, tested, looked at under a microscope by first a Certified Family Investigator, then a parental family investigator.
Regardless, I don't wish or intend for this to be an excuse but rather an explanation as to why I have displayed immaturity and insecurity.
I after recently getting out of the hospital for an emergency appendectomy and perforated ulcer repair have told myself that life's to short. I have never lost a bit of sleep of what I've done to anybody, never been dishonest, lied, cheated, stolen and shouldn't feel attacked if someone says this or that and have realized that life's too short. My reputation professional life's impeccable, as well as it is in my numerous hobbies and hope to reestablish within my home club. I have enjoyed racing for a very long time, all across this country and have enjoyed it too with the MRA for a very long time. As a matter a fact, even my boys have been enjoying the friendships and comradely they have made within the racing community with other racers kids.
In closing, I truly do wish you guys and gals understand that I have missed the many longtime friendships that I've made in the club, the numerous laughs and hardships that we, as a club, have had and overcome and hope that one day I can reestablish all of them and continue to make new ones. If anyone within the club wishes to come forward and explain anything or any event that they feel needs to be pointed out anything out of the many that items,bikes, trailers,generators, stands, warmers, and etc that I have sold, any issues or anything that I may not be aware of I hope you will share it with the membership. I have written Chris Dale and told him of my issues and shared with you the positive side as well as the negative side of an ugly ongoing and personal battle and it rages onward.
Thank you to all for your for hopefully understanding.

PS. My recent post about dreams was apparently taken incorrectly and someone took it to mean that I was again adding negative input. I really didn't see it that way and apolgize to that person for not admitting I have goat sex. But I readily admit that I wasn't the first. It was in fact Tony Bakers goat. :lol:
