Brian, like I said, not to take anything away from Ken and what he has done for the racing community, I don't see him stepping up for trackday riders. That's ok...I don't expect him to.
Ken doesn't operate track days. He has his hands full with what he does now. There are other organizations that operate good track days. I've named a couple of them. Others have named a couple others.
However, I don't see any value bashing others who are willing to put up their money and to take a financial risk to provide trackdays to others. Is it perfect? No. But, until your the person willing to cut the cheque for safety equipment I think you should try supporting them and not hating on them. I'll leave it at that...
I, for one, am not "bashing", but rather "strongly suggesting" for the "offenders" shall we say (who I have not named, I will let others do the math), to step up to the plate and DO THE RIGHT THING. If they do not do the right thing, they are exposing us, and by inference themselves, to levels of risk that need not be taken.
My method of supporting those who do the right thing will be to patronize organizations who do it right, and not support those who do it wrong and don't mend their ways.
