as for mr "R", life would be easier for the active racers and there families if he never returned, but respect him and understand him if he does. be ready to take steps to protect you and yours, always staying within the law. your no better in the eyes of the public if you break the law, though they may forgive you if you do.

"for all i know his drag racing carrer is what turned him into this child offender"....First of all....what exactly does that mean?????????

"but respect him and understand him"...And secondly...how can anyone respect someone who views child porn???????

Carlos,

Maybe this subject is too away from your reality to understand / affect your daily life. I cant figure how "DRAG RACING" makes you horny for kids between 3-16 years old. Funny when I go to the track I want adrenaline, competition, fun, and CARS! If you see it as a child display area then maybe you should register also! The problem that arises is that something in his/her brain is telling him that children are attractive and it is not something that just changes by going to 1 years worth of meetings! Maybe the 10 years on sex offender registry will change him/her or maybe it will not. I just do not feel comfortable knowing that there is a man who is known to be sexually attracted to people's children parked across from me! So does NHRA want a "Family Sport" i.e..Junior Drag Racing League, Image of Youth Award, ect.or do they want a "Mans Sport" (no offence ladies). If they do not suspend him I will still come racing, I will park NO WHERE NEAR HIM, I just believe that this is something that SHOULD be looked at more closely (as many people do).

So I said my Peace (again) and will not post about this issue again. I started this post to get a racers backing and not to discuss what NHRA may or may not do, I want to see what they WILL do when faced with a petition that people want something done.

So If you agree post your car number and class, If not you can feel free to start a new post and discuss anything you want. Please NOT HERE! Just backers not people against or talkers. Thanks!

Chris,
I agree with you 100%! I just don't believe NHRA will actually do anything about it.
I applaude your effort and I hope this helps.

For those that don't know anything about the guy or case some info mite be helpful before we sign on. Was it a case where a devoriced wife was teaching the X a leson by claiming he touched thier little boy? Or did the guy get caught with his hands in his pants. But if the guy had any lude contact with kids sign me up.

[Jason Oldfield]

Decon,

No known contact, and no it was not his wife as he was still married (happily, I believe) when this all went down. I would have to assume there is a divorce in the works not, but I don't know that for sure. I don't remember how he was caught, but it had nothing to do with racing.

[Bill Belden]

I don't know the particulars of his conviction/sentence, however when an individual is sentenced for a child sex crime there is usually a restriction put in place stating he/she may not come within a certain distance of anyone considered a child/underage.
If this is the case, the problem would be solved.
JM stated NHRA probably wouldn't want to get involved, if there is a court order NHRA would not have a choice but to honor it
If not I'll sign it

PS: I worked in Law Enforcement ( Corrections) for 25 years dealing with POS like him

ss283,

I don't know Bill personally, but IMO you were WAY off base to launch an attack on him, especially since I do not think you are correct in who we were generally talking about. Yes, Gene Snow was mentioned in the conversation. But, I believe the REAL subject of this conversation was Regis Lepage, not Gene Snow as your links would lead us to believe (particularly since this thread is located in the .90 Heads Up Class Racing forum, and the thread was started by a .90 Heads Up Class Racing competitor).

In addition, had you read the story you linked, you would have read:

"While it was stipulated that he have no contact with children under seventeen, clearly spelled out in the conditions was that Snow would not be subjected to conditions normally assigned to a sex offender."

Thus, though Mr. Snow doesn't have to register as a sex offender, I'm not sure how he could hang out at the races with at least 10,000 kids under 17 years of age there. So, as Bill stated, problem solved.

The reason people are upset with the case against Mr. Lepage is because he did not serve jail time. However, he IS a registered sex offender, as can be seen here: http://sor.informe.org/cgi-bin/sor/s...UBURN&limiter=

I don't know for certain, but I would guess that contact with minors is prohibited as a registered sex offender, especially considering the fact that Mr. Lepage was convicted of possession of sexually explicit material of a minor under 12 years of age.
