Dear Weekly Racers.
I want to address the current issues of Heinrichs times.
After reviewing the facts, it is still unclear, with the facts at hand, as to whether or not Heinrich has falsified any times. There is no difinitive proof only some evidence that points in a certain direction.
So it is my opinion that Heinrich and the rest of us will move forward from this point on and let this issue rest as is.
Under the rules of this Weekly Competition, I have stated that we are all on the honor system and no Xport verification is necessary. If any times should become under scrutiny, it shall be the burden of the racer to provide proof, however, as stated in the rules, none is necessary. But the honor and reputation of the racer in question, should they be truly honest, would be to provide undeniable proof.
Heinrich has provided some, but not difinitieve, proof of his time, and as I stated earlier, there is no clear cut fact proving a false time and therefore his time will stand as so.
I would like to suggest that as any racer starts to acheive faster and faster times, proof of time will need to be supplied. Maybe not here in the Weekly, but if a racers career is to expand past the Weekly Race Series, I would
highly suggest that you procure some device that will allow you to prove your times beyond a resaonable doubt.
Furthermore, as cheating is the lowest possible offense not only here in the world of online racing but in real life, that is not what has dissapointed me so. What has dissapointed me the most is the mudslinging, flaming, name calling and general poor attitudes displayed by not only myself but other here in this thread.
I understand that attitudes can flare when accusations are made, but it is all our responsabilities as proper and decent people to maintain professional attitudes especially in dark times.
With that said, my appologies to Max for my outbust toward him and to anyone else that viewed that. I was out of line.
I would hope that everone else is able to make ammends with anyone else and hope that any relationships that were strained during this time can and will be repaired.
That is all and I hope that everyone will be able to move forward from this point in a friendly and professional manner.
Thank you.
