Re: [RC] Racing - Truman Prevatt

The injured person or ride management or any other rider could file a protest with the AERC. The RM could have disqualified the rider in which case the rider could (and probably would have) filed a protest with the AERC. At that point the P&G committee would make a ruling and issue sanctions.

There is some precedent in a protest that was filed at a ride about 5 years ago. If I remember correctly it finds were that the RM shall take all action in their powers to insure a safe trail for a race in at the finish. If no such safe finish line can be established then the riders should know and the responsibility falls to them.

Said case was about 5 years ago and I believe the ruling of the P&G committee was in the April issue.

As Joe pointed out this is also pointed out in the ride managers handbook that I have - granted its a few years old.

As far a the Tevis as far as I know a protest was not filed for that incident so the AERC took no action.

So if you feel strongly - file a protest.
