Re: [RC] What AERC should provide - Truman Prevatt

Mike,

This is where the change needs to be made. Instead of the AERC changing rules without adequate data to support such changes with a "hope and a prayer" it works - it should work to educate all riders to the importance of the AERC being able to make an informed decision based on good available data.

I see the education challenge to be this that - to educate all the riders to the importance of all the vast data available to the AREC BOD to make informed decisions. Any other method is not better than shooting in the dark.

No one said it would be easy - but normally implementing the correct procedures isn't easy.

I've spent my whole working career dealing with numbers but in our sport - if AERC required the ride managers and riders to collect and send in the numbers and variables needed for the kind of decisions I made - there would be a revolt.

We couldn't even get the vet cards sent in so I'm not optimistic that the amount of data needed for an engineering decision would ever happen - and no change would occur.
