SCOOP:
This is the only interview of its kind since new President
Cranes first real NKC meeting proved hes continuing the tradition of doing
business from uninstructed delegates. Today, weve managed to get an exclusive
interview with someone behind the scenes whos actually done something for karters.
But its up to you to decide if $2m spent on infrastructure like smartcard and
transponders plus CIK engines for a dozen or so karters is better for the sport than
spending $2m on Marketing and Promoting the sport.............................
RVNews
Congratulations on the
past months success.
MS
Not sure what you mean, its all been
successful since I came along.
RVNews I mean you ducked
even a mention in the price fixing case and the NKC didn't sack you .
MS
I wasnt involved in price fixing.
RVNews Yes you were, you
were an official. How come some got named and not others.
MS
I was smart.
RVNews No ones
going to believe that because youre also on the NKC and they are undoubtedly the
dumbest disaster team
karting has ever suffered.
MS
Doesnt include me because I dont say anything; Thats smart.
RVNews The NKC includes
you, and you are part of spending $150k on CIK engines for 8 people this year, $1.6m for
data
cards and transponders and another $100k for CIK promotion next year.
MS
But thats clever and its probably a lot more too. You forgot our $270k loan.
RVNews That was dumb and
a scam.
MS
Hardly, it earns good interest.
RVNews The AKA
isnt a bank, the money should be spent on the sport.
MS
We dont do that. Were here to stop karters complaining.
RVNews But you all
breached the code of conduct?
MS
The what?
RVNews The ethics and
conduct codes.
MS
Theyre only there for the karters to think theyre getting something for their
money when they complain.
RVNews But they
arent getting anything at all because as you were
told by one of your own, you are a bunch of
misguided lunatics.**
MS
Not me, I dont say anything.
RVNews What do you call
that ? Useless ? Stupid ?
MS
I call it smart.
RVNews But if you sit
and watch the misguided lunatics.** squander all the money and make stupid decision after
stupid
decision,
thats reckless.
MS
But smart.
RVNews Why is it smart?
Surely its not smart at all to refuse to say anything because you think you are
being smart.
MS
No money, no karters, no complaints.
