RPM, the Texas-based WERA and AMA affiliate, has established a formal system of getting representative rider input. A press release issued July 2 by the organization follows:

“As of June 14, 2001, RPM has formed a Riders Steering Committee. The purpose of the Riders Committee is to:

“1. Serve ALL riders by placing ideas on the
table that address the safety and general direction of the club and its members as to benefit the whole.

“2. To have actual input from their peers (other
riders) and act upon those best ideas as described in item #1 in a swift and well-managed manner.

“The appointed Riders Steering Committee Members are:

“1. Expert – Greg Abbott

“2. Expert – Pete Martins

“3. Novice – David Kagen

“4. Vintage – Scott Howse

“5. Mini – Harold Hixon

“Ideas will be discussed on terms and conditions of these positions held.

“We will have meetings once per month. As it stands right now, it will done in the RPM Chat Room every second Monday of the month from 7:00 p.m.-9:00 p.m. @ www.rpmraceclub.com”

The release was issued via e-mail by RPM’s Tom Shields, who signed the release:

Several other club-racing organizations have similar schemes for gathering rider input, frequently putting rider-elected representatives on the organization’s Board of Directors.

If your club is using such a set-up, we’d like to hear from you, via e-mail to [email protected]. Please include your full name, your city and phone number. E-mails without full name, city and phone number will be ignored and deleted.
