At the meeting an ASA newsletter Volume 4 Issue 3 page 17 is a full page addressing the issue, the issue is in front of the ASA and BLMâ€™s eyes. We can not sit with our heads in the sand and hope they donâ€™t shut it down. My understanding is that this newsletter will be passed out to the duning co...

Jon,

I feel you have allowed Steve to win by dragging you down to his level of criticism. This is the type of interaction that neither side should be having, defend your convictions with logic and temperament.

Thanks

This has been hashed and rehashed many, many times. There are any number of reasons why the BLM cannot place barriers up at the drags. They feel they would be more dangerous. They cannot simply place barriers up without a EIS. They do not have the manpower. They do not think it is needed. They figu...

Besides making it an "organized" event if someone places stakes or rope, that same person would also be accepting any liability. Any takers? I am sure that a good lawyer could take the BLM to court for allowing an impromptu event to occur almost every day during the height of the season. Why would ...

Personally I think that they should be left alone and the current laws enforced. I don't really like the idea of bringing this to the attention of anyone. It could only end bad. It has been brought up by the BLM and discussed at the board meeting. No one wants more rules, but as soon as they start ...

I think that would be considered "ORGANIZED", which I believe is illegal. The LEO's are organized and are there every day. We have safety stakes by the canals so you do not ride down the last hill to the canal. I do not see place safety stakes out to an event that allways happens making the impromp...

Attending the ASA Board meeting in San Diego the topic of impromptu sand drag safety came up. The BLM is concerned and will be patrolling to make this type of event safer by enforcing current regulations regarding the 15 MPH within 50 feet of a group of people. I would like to discuss solutions that...

Why do want to hate those that disagree with your way of thinking? I have no problem with you having an opinion different then mine, you can dislike anybody you want, hate all you want, I have a problem with you doing it on the ASA BBS (Even though it's not the view of the ASA). The ASA is a politi...

So what are your definitions of a "social liberal" and a "social conservative"? Social Liberal - is a view that individuals have the right to do what they want as long as their behaviors affects only themselves or others whom have chosen to be affected. Social Conservative - is a view that â€œwilli...

What really upsets me is the way our beer has been "pussified" for the femal drinker during WWII.

That's leadership.

I think it depends with what you feel more comfortable with. I was out testing the rail I built and only had my 1600 in it at the time, so motor size does not make an event more likely.

Sanduners had another suggestion, that we have the volunteer link on every committee. So I changed that. I also tweaked the wording a little for empty committees.
