Well now it appears that there seems to be a log on problem with the forum as the very gracious Mr. Welch gave me the riot act for not signing in properly and apparently screwed it up himself.
Of course before we go any further……this IS George Durdin, proudly of CRE Motorsports, LLC , Calhan , Co.
A.J. I met you and your dad when you came down for a SKUSA event in 2000 when you where a big dog in the program. It was good to meet you and your father, I was the fool out there at 6am blowing the track clean and emptying garbage cans so you folks would a clean track and first rate facilty to run your event. I’m glad to hear someone admit that we all have exactly been in Linkus’ or JB’s hip pocket all these many days.
Rusty you where absolutely the first SKUSA Mountain Region Director to take it the shorts from Mr. Linkus……..HARD. Why stand up now to protect this guy? Next up, Chuck Courter and to his credit he assumed a responsiblity that he didn’t want but that didn’t stop Linkus from cheating the SKUSA Mountain Region Membership, the SKUSA national program out of participants insurance premiums. And then on to Grady Clay………..Grady really beleived that Mr. Linkus had some redeeming qualities, that didn’t stop Linkus from once again taking advantage of the SKUSA membership that he deplored and the SKUSA national program. It took poor Grady nearly five months to collect just SKUSA entry fees from Mr. Linkus. Try calling Brad Kenyon in Albuquerque who was the National Director of SKUSA Regional developement about his dealings with Mr. Linkus.
Rusty if you will go back to Mr. Argy’s obit on EKN you will find that he didn’t announced the formation of TaGUSA until mid-January 2003, about a week before the IMI drivers meeting…. and the same obit will show that he first showcased the TaGUSA program at the Chicago Expo. I’m not trying to be smug with the facts but they are what they are and some folks are playing loose with them.
Doug I absolutely beleive that the CSC was covered by NKA in 2003, but that was only after the issues of coverage where raised on another forum and the promoters hand was called. CRE in fact gave JB the source necessary ( NKA) to provide at least minimal coverage for the racers….of course you now pay an inflated rate to test and tune at his facilty.
I absolutely stand on my previous accusations regarding Linkus and Olmstead. Stacy Cook and Grady Clay where at the 2001 meeting and there are Shifter Class participants that have awards from the 2000 IKF Colorado State Championships with the sponsorship of Shifter Kart City that Mr. Olmstead reneged on the sponsorship. He didn’t just cheat CRE that weekend he cheated the kart racers that followed CRE.
I haven’t met one and ten of you folks and yet you are willing to persecute me based on the word of folks that you really don’t know. There have been a few that have ventured down this way and found out that we didn’t have two heads , that we treated everybody fairly and that the folks that are involved in this program are friendly and generous. We have a rulebook that we follow, a schedule that we follow and for the most part everyone has a good time and is ready to support our program and its future. We also have a great track that you’ve got to come try…….
