I know Brian had a good time at the event and the main reason he went there was to support Tara. There was outdoor demo, Rampage, and Tara's race and we wanted to go to support Tara over the other events that were happening that weekend. He's been friends with Tara probably as long as most of you have been alive and sure this incident hasn't changed that. Should he have waited until later to discuss this timing issue? Sure he probably should have. Should the timing people have had done a better job of posting times quicker and before awards were given out? Sure they should have. Sometimes things don't always happen as they should have, but they do and life goes on. larock, you say 200 people were waiting around to see results? Seems like it would have been more courteous to post results for all those who were waiting around just to see what their times were vs. having to wait for all the top 3 guys to get their awards. I doubt everyone wanted to wait until all awards were over to see where they placed? As for this being a charity event and not caring what place you get, I have mixed feeling on this statement. Yes, it is a charity event and raising money for Tara is the most important thing, but don't have a PRO race, advertise a PRO purse payout and then say you shouldn't care what place you got. If this is the case they should just have a charity ride for Tara and not call it a race. What's the purpose to call it a race if it's not going to be legit?

well it does sound like nobody really know anything about the timing problems, so wanted to bring those facts to the people that want to turn this into something. Agreed Brian should have waited to speak with Tara, but they should have also posted times well before they did awards so if there was an issue it could have been looked into before they hand out awards. That is the normal protocall right?

tallquida, not sure where you are getting your info from, but you obviously don't know the facts. Brian didn't get banned for life for one. Secondly he did have a discussion about his time with Tara which when you know the facts was just a bad situation for both. Understandably Tara had a lot going on and didn't know what to do other than to have him talk to the timing guys, which Brian did. They were suppose to get back to him and I guess he still hasn't got a call from them. Basic situation is Kirt Vories started 1 min in front of Brian. Both Kirt and Brian passed two other riders in their run and Brian caught Kirt as well and went through the line right behind him, meaning his time should have been 59 seconds faster than Kirts. Well they never told Brian his time, proceeded with awards, then after awards posted times. Somehow Brian got a time of 9:48 when Kirts times was 10:16. Brian asked how they came up with this time for him and they had NO answer. Asking for an explanation on a time the timing people give someone that absolutely doesn't make sense seems like a legit question they should be able to provide. As for your quote, I guess you can make up anything you want when you go on these chat boards because if you knew Brian like I do you know he would never make a comment like the one you've made up.
