I just hope he has hope brakes

And the cyclist not smiling in the third picture

Exactly, I don't know why the King was complaining in the first place

So now cyclists are allowed to do any motor pacing. What is this world coming to

What is childish about that comment? How would you feel if someone commented on your daughter like that? My question is based on your tantrum earlier in the thread

That's someones daughter you speaking about...

Can we get pictures please

Shame didn't you get an entry?

You will alway get those people who think they are better than others based on what kit they wear or in this case what brakes you can afford. Some people actually judge a persons skill by looking at the equipment and kit they have and riding ability actually plays no role

You are the ultimate troll... you so good you even trolled yourself

Anything else you would like to say to yourself... edit: just let it out Dipsy

As your signature says...

To be honest if I entered late I wouldn't even care about a shirt either, I would just want that entry. So in the policy they can state that a shirt size cannot be changed after a certain date.

Yeah anyway I will continue to support Ironman and think they do a fantastic job. However I just think that this needs to be looked at if possible

You can hardly call that a reply

When did Matt sell the hub to you? I agree don't buy the shirt if costs too much but if people want to start a thread and discuss it they are entitled to do that.

The majority are the 2200 people that pay to stand on the start line

apologies Thanks

I agree with you Sluiper this could be an Issue with getting Medical certificates illegally. This issue can however be worked around

I don't think they do allow this

Well sorry mate I didn't type it out in big words for you and put out pictures to help assist you understand something so simple. It would not mean they have to pay more salaries. If you charge people a substitution fee as mentioned in another post the labor to run the substitutions will be covered and a small profit can be made and it will contribute to the good business they are already running. It have no problem with IMSA making money and I think what they have done in this Small city is GREAT and a lot more people have gained from Ironman in this city other than just IMSA. However I think this area of substitutions can be looked at again

So you saying people must just shut up if they are not happy? This Rant has valid points and I am sure people can discuss them if they want. You also say he is one person out of how many entrants. Well I can promise you out of the 2200 entrants paid up for IMSA 2014 more than one person will get injured and not be able to compete. It is part of the nature of the sport. So maybe this should be taken into account by the Organizers

?

Agree with you, and that fee doesn't have to be cheap. Make it a price that will make someone think twice about substituting but at least give them an option

I agree with him, he is not after a refund. Yes he agreed to the refund policy but why don't IMSA implement a substitution policy. 1 x paid entry = 1 x slot into the race. I would do anything for a slot into the 70.3 in Jan but due to me having to pay for 2 people (my wife and myself) I had to wait a while for entering, we then got put on the waiting list and are like 400 odd on the list. Now I know of someone who wants to sell their entry for the asking price but I cannot substitute it into my name. He has to fill out a refund form, he then gets 25% back and they resell the entry to the next person on the list for the full price. So for that 1 slot they will be paid R 2975 (Worked out @ R 1700 an entry). That is a bit rough. However I enjoy the brand in every other aspect. Each race you go to it is very well organised and it works well. I just think they should look into this
