I ran it through the "puder-speak 5000" translator, and this is what came out:

No idea what that has to do with putting race threads in the forum dedicated to racing issues and discussion, but what do I know?

I'll answer so long as you guys continue to push Mike A. on the issue of his successful LLC. I mean really! The bottom line is the proof. If the LLC is so successful, it should be making money, right? Moreover, a lack of making money is the reason (so it says) the LLC has dropped quite a few Offshore race venues. So even according to Mike A., this is the definition of success.

So here it is. Go to http://www.geocities.com/sponsonhead/index.html

and click on 2003 APBA By-laws Proposal written by Ed Hearn.

This is what I would and did propose. These are the ByLaws which essentially keep the format that the members elect the BOD and the Commissioners who are elected by the members at the Region Meetings elect the Category Chairman. It also includes the provision that the BOD elects the officers (although I could go either way on that one: elected by BOD or by members directly). It also provides for the hiring of competition directors as was provided for in Plan 2000 (although they have a different name). This is what I proposed at the annual meeting in Detroit and it was overwhelmingly approved. Moreover, I received all kinds of proxies from members who could not be there who supported this as well. By the way, these ByLaws are a mesh between the APBA's old bylaws (completely re-written in 1994) and Plan 2000.

Allweiss will now probably go into a tirade about how this was a secret coup. It wasn't though. But even if the members don't like this plan, they can always change it. Allweiss' plan does not allow a majority of the members to do anything. Remember: Allweiss holds a license with the APBA. He has a vested interest in keeping as much control of the APBA as he can. Why do you think he spends so much time trying to convince people that his plan is the best one? Remember, Allweiss' last suggestion to the APBA BOD on how much he should be charged per year for his Offshore license was $1.00.

14-H.

14-H

Why, because Mr. Allweiss tells everyone that Offshore needed to get a better insurance plan since APBA's was "inadequate" and I point out that HE VOTED FOR IT? 14-H.

No,

Becuase it's obvoius that this is a personal issue with you.

The LLC used a different insurance carrier because the money paid for the insurance was not being attributed to the liscence fee. Also, they were being overcharged. Something about offshore racers being able to afford to pay more.

14-H

Overcharged: (ie: rates too high): Maybe. But doesn't it concern you at all that a guy who voted for this insurance plan now thinks it's a bad one when there's a possibility he's not on the APBA BOD anymore? Doesn't this reveal the fact that the cost (while maybe a factor) is not the primary reason for the change? 14-H.

Add: it is personal! Mr. A. has attacked my family and my integrity and he refuses to pony-up any facts to support it and ignores the facts that I confront him with.

thanks DR

just what we need over in the racers' forum.

what are you going do?
