I'd heard this rumor a while back. Not a fan of CKRC, so I was a little sketchy about the deal. How does it effect me? It doesn't. If Jake upholds or improves the reputation of the USRCCA, then cool. Its in his and CKRC's best interest to do so. If he runs it into the ground, we'll all move on to something else after watching him go down in flames. The USRCCA is not the absolute law when it comes to crawling. Local clubs adopt the rules as guidelines, not strict dictatorial rule. The only time you really have to worry about what the USRCCA does is when you attend one of thier official events. |

Here's a question for RCC, Being RCC doesn't have anything to do with USRCCA anymore, How would a new sanction body be welcomed here if one was to pop up. How would RCC staff react. How would RCC members react. For the record I support the change that Jason and John have decided to do. It is theirs to do as they will. | ||

I used to respect alot of the members on this board. Turns out, I was an idiot. Problem fixed, dont admire the asses. I do need to apologize for one thing tho. I am sorry that I ever questioned the dictatorship of this board. My bad... You are all Gods, Nay... Masters of the Universe. Lords of the Earth. Conqueres of man. Go ahead... maintain the status quo. No more interuptions from me on this topic. |

You bring up a interesting point what would the stance of RCC be if a new sanctioning body was to be formed?Would it be welcomed or looked down at and not allowed to be discussed on this site? | |

Firstly, I'm unsure how I feel about the USRCRCA being sold. I'm slightly confused that it's worth money, it would have made more sense to me if leadership merely be handed off. It's a free market though, its worth whatever they think 'cause its their money. That said, having talked with Jason, I think he was getting burned out from being so busy with the site, running the USRCRCA and organizing events, running our local comp series, co-driving a XRRA buggy, having a normal job and a family to spend time with. I imagine Badger's situation was/is similar. They have been handing off responsibilities to free up time for an increased focus on the website and (I assume) to have more free time/spend more time with the families. A lot of people get burned out on this R/C thing and quit. Wouldn't it suck if Jason and/or Badger got burned out and lost interest in RCC? This is one of the best maintained forums I've ever seen, you'd notice if they lost interest. So, I am fine with them passing the torch. I admit, CKRC doesn't have the best reputation for shipping. My first instinct was to dislike Jake, but this was based entirely on rumors about his business and his signature and a few ill conceived notions about what kind of guy he must be. I met him briefly at Rocas Rojo, and he seems like a pretty damn nice guy. He and Parker are both very good drivers and they're passionate about the sport. In short, they know their shit. They're not stupid, I doubt the currrent setup of a rules committee will change and I would be really fawking surprised if they pulled any shitty tricks to further their business interests. No reverse ESC's may become required though In short, I genuinely expect good things. If you're not happy, stand up and contribute rather than just shit talking people on the internet like a pimply faced looser. Last edited by chrisjlittle; 08-28-2009 at 10:06 PM. |

| http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conflict_of_interest More generally, conflict of interests can be defined as any situation in which an individual or corporation (either private or governmental) is in a position to exploit a professional or official capacity in some way for their personal or corporate benefit. Depending upon the law or rules related to a particular organization, the existence of a conflict of interest may not, in and of itself, be evidence of wrongdoing. In fact, for many professionals, it is virtually impossible to avoid having conflicts of interest from time to time. A conflict of interests can, however, become a legal matter for example when an individual tries (and/or succeeds in) influencing the outcome of a decision, for personal benefit. A director or executive of a corporation will be subject to legal liability if a conflict of interests breaches his Duty of Loyalty. There often is confusion over these two situations. Someone accused of a conflict of interest may deny that a conflict exists because he/she did not act improperly. In fact, a conflict of interests can exist even if there are no improper acts as a result of it. (One way to understand this is to use the term "conflict of roles". A person with two roles—an individual who owns stock and is also a government official, for example—may experience situations where those two roles conflict. The conflict can be mitigated—see below—but it still exists. In and of itself, having two roles is not illegal, but the differing roles will certainly provide an incentive for improper acts in some circumstances.) |

The real test will be to see where the 2010 nats will be held. I think it would be a good idea for the sport to have it move around and not stay on the west coast. We'll see. I'm optimistically withholding judgment until then. | |
