Policing the track

[Paula Haynes]

Over this last week we have been informed of some unsafe riding. Such as big bikes roosting kids and scaring them off the Kiddy track and jumping over or very close to them on the A track.

If you are a member you have the right to approach the unsafe riders asking them for information, but if you feel it would be best not to, try to get as much information you can. It is easier for a club officer to confront them when information is plentiful and correct. Information needed to warn unsafe riders are: Take notes.
(1) Date & time
(2) Bike #
(3) Make of bike & color
(4) Riders name
(5) Member or non-member
(6) License plate # of truck & color (What are they driving)
(7) Any information of riders accompanying rider

Oh, if you happen to have a camera use it.

Folks hearing this and seeing some of the attitudes at the track, I wonder if some of you would prefer that I come at least to the races prepared to take Police Action if need be? As most of you know I normally do not carry a weapon or any other Police equipment at the track.

I feel that on race day we have club officers that for the most part can handle problems, it's all the other days of the month that concern’s me. I made some calls last night to members who had 4 complaints on them. It went Okay, but if I were to have had more information in my corner I would have been able to pin them down more.
I have asked them to attend the meeting on the 29th. I don't want them to get beat up on to bad, just to listen to the complaints they have caused.

As far as race days goes... If we continue to have the big crowds like we had last week we may need you to be there in force.

This is an extract from the Club By-Laws for all to see.

1. The order of the club business is to be a reading of minutes from a previous meeting, a report of officers, any unfinished business and any new business.
2. Must be a club member to use the property.
3. Only an active club member is eligible to hold office and vote on club matters.
4. A club membership entitles family members in college or at home, up to twenty-three years of age, club privileges.
5. A club member is responsible for their family or guest while on club property.
6. A member must show club card on property when asked to do so or they may have a fellow member vouch for them.
7. A member may be expelled for conduct unbecoming to the club. However charges must first be made in writing and the accused member given a hearing before the executive committee. The committee and club will hold a vote as to disciplinary action to be taken.
8. A member can lose membership if they abuse the facility in any way.
9. No swearing or fighting is allowed on the club property.
10. No guns are allowed on club property.

I'm quite sure #10 doesn't apply to Danny

After you carry one for a few years, it is very nice to be without the weight on your side. When you do really need it often your first thought is to run. A pitt Bull got after me today while on duty and at first I forgot I had the gun. Last race day, if I had my ticket book, I would have written a citation to a young girl for Disorderly. She had a mouth worse than a Sailor. The normal problems the club officers can handle just fine, but I have seen a few that only a Peace Officer can handle. I have looked the other way, mainly because I am off duty trying to enjoy the time off, but also because, I do not have restraints and non lethal weapons to subdue someone if they did decide to fight.
