There is no boycot. Any VKG member who wants to attend the BKC Dyno Day can do so and the rest of us will not say a thing to them. In our metting to pick "Club Events" or events that we would make an extra effort to get together at, we didn't VOTE to slate the BKC Dyno Day as a "Club Event" for 2007. Every member had the opportunity to vote on the events they would like to get together at. I'm sure most members will attend events in their area that the rest of the members will not attend. That does not make them bad events, they just arent on the list of club events for 2007. When the 2007 Dyno Day was brought up in our meeting, it was not a popular topic and didn't make the list. That is not to say that some of our members can't go to it or will be frowned upon for going, we do not opperate that way. We do not bash anyone for going to or not going to events. In my case, I have 3 vacation days to use between now and June. I do not have weekends off the month of March so I must choose between going to the BCK Dyno Day and going to the first SCCA event that of the year with Jake & Len to support their new F-Production race effort. The fact that neither Jake or Len have ever showed their @$$ to me coupled with the fact that road racing will always be cooler than drag racing or a Dyno Day in my book, made it an easy choice for me. My vacation will be spent going to the race event were that effort will be appreciated and I will feel welcome. Maybe next year my days off will fall so that I do not have to make the choice of were to use my limited vacation time. But when I made that choice, I did factor in our treatment over this event. I can't speak to the reasons for the rest of our members that voted, but I am sure they are very similar.
Remember, WE never said that we will Boycot the BKC Dyno Day. Our members will make their own CHOICES in that mater. I am over it. I made a choice. If the proverbial shoe were on the other foot, I'm sure the outcome would be similar.
