Ward vs. Glover decision In revi ewing th e article in Cycle News (November 13), in which Ed Youngblood o f th e AMA discussed my concern on th e Ward vs. Glover Supercross Ap peal Board procedure, I noti ced wh at may have bee n a mi sunderstanding o n Mr . Youngblood's behalf. Th e direct quot e in question is: "I h ave received written documents from one member o f th e three person Ap peal Boa rd - Ed Carroll - wh o did not necessar ily disagree with the fin al decision o r the Boa rd , but had a co mp la i nt a bo u t th e procedure." In m y letter to Mr. Youngblood I let it be known that I was disturbed about th e findi ngs. In add it ion , I presented a conce rn a bo u t th e appea l process. At no time d id I ind icate th at I "didn 't necessaril y di sagr ee wit h the fin al deci sion." I do conti n ue to su p port the Appe-al Board process and its goals . I reel that how a member votes is a personal mailer (based o n evidence , statements, and rule book contents) and th e reported findings sho uld be eit her a unanimous or majority decisi on o n the part of a ll board members a t th e time o f adjournment. I have taken th is opportunity to break my silence in this mailer only to clarify th is one poi nt, an d with th e des ire to mainta in m y cred ibi lity a nd fairness wh en deal in g with the riders, no mailer wh at the circumstances may be.
