The President of TTASA Mr. Mohammed Ali said his association has started the clearing of an area immediately north of the Camden runway / drag strip that will be used for a circuit racing track.
Mr. Ali said the new circuit will be 1.1 miles long and will be more or less a mirror image of the track at Wallerfield. He said the new track will be very interesting to drivers with both “left and right handers”. Stating also the actual track surface being constructed will be 40 feet wide with ample room for passing and paved with asphalt with wider sections at the corners with sand traps. No budget was given for the cost of this project.
TTASA, the National Governing Body (NGB) for Motorsport in T&T was granted permission by the Commissioner of State Lands for the use of Camden for motorsport activities in 20077 and again in 2011 where only drag racing events have been taking place. The completion of this circuit racing track would hopefully see the rebirth of circuit racing in Trinidad which was stopped completely with the closure of Wallerfield in 2006.

that is totally incorrect……ANYONE CAN JOIN TTASA….JUST FOLLOW THE PROCEDURE OUTLINED & SUBMIT YOUR FORMS WITH THE REQUIRED APPLICATION FEES.
.
If allyuh fraid Mohammed Ali, ask me to propose your nomination…I’ll do that & get a valid seconder to complete the application.
.
Ali right when he said ‘allyuh boys only talking…none ah allyuh paying any money to do nuthin‘
.
remember, I am no longer bound & gagged by administrative protocol
Link, princess, why would I put money into something Im against?
Why would I put money into something I dont want?
Why would I sign up to an organization which is run by a bunch of old twats who are trying to kill the little avenue of motorsport we have locally? Worst yet, these are the people who are opposed to change..
Please share, what are the application fees like?
before I answer you……YOU name the TTASA Management members….
I aint feeling to mess up my computer, take Ali at the top and Ramnath at the bottom, sure you can fill in the blanks.

New management or a reshuffle of an old deck? Be real, what new blood was brought into the organisation? Please correct my statement that Mr.Ali is at the top of the managment chain and Mr.Ramnath is the member rep or I have to pay $500 for that?
I want to be part of the solution BUT and note this part well, I refuse to join an organisation where my opinion is put to the side, I refuse to join an organisation where I am not allowed to bear witness to important documents which define the organization.

faster this done is faster autocross, drifting, karting, solodex & time attack come to pass….YES…RC racing too !!!
.
ah sorry for zoom raider :
what…with 7 different motor sport disciplines fighting for 8 weekend spots per month
oops…make that 8 disciplines…forgot to list CIRCUIT RACING above
no no no
rc racing already has its own offroad track and already have thier own plans for an on road course
they dont need TTASA to come and frig it up like they have done with everything else they try to control

ttasa is not the solution, it is not part of the solution, its not part of the problem….. it IS the problem.
as long as it remains the NGB it IS the problem.
it has to let the MSGC be the NGB and that is the solution.
when it does so, ttasa can become a member club of a discipline which makes up the MSGC.
support ttasa and perpetuate the problem.
maximum leadership like manning and panday and stalin, and idi amin went out of style decades ago.
democracy is the shiznit now.

actually TTASA took on quite a number of new members in 2012 and a few more just before the elections… friends and family of Ali mostly, a few trustees that now feel indebted to Ali and some strategic "big sawati" to help them lie in the ministry.
These TTASA people are dishonest at their core but they swear they are "transparent". When Ali got up to say that he will be a good, honest and transparent president I think that was the point where John Powell could not take it any more and he got up to voice his opinion. So what did the TTASA idiots do? They shut him up.
If this was a well working team, why all the changes (except the husband and wife at the top)? 5 competitions chairman resignations and a suspension, 2 treasures accused of stealing money, 2 past presidents expelled, 1 trustee stripped of his status and FIA appointments which the president Ali gladly took for himself, numerous other member expulsions and suspensions, vice president filing a vote of no confidence against the president, honorary secretary accusing the vice president of stealing money and lying, long time members walking out to go compete at Drag and Wind, a dozen TTASA drag events yet claims of having no money and all this in just the past 2 years. Yeah man, this is a strong team.
it seems anyone who opposes Ali gets kicked out and accused to stealing or holding back motorsport progress.
Meanwhile… Karting, Rally, Solodex, Drag and Wind etc going on with proper national championships.

WOW , im borrowing this
link
Jul 14th, 2012
don’t ‘borrow’ anything…call me -683-5541- & arrange to meet me….I’ll GIVE you copies of docs relating to above..it’s all public knowledge…including the report that Ali had read out about the money ‘Link tief’. The Honorary Secretary even read an ‘auditor’s report in which she called my name saying ‘money still missing’…EVEN AFTER TTASA GOT A REPORT FROM ME SHOWING A $6000 WHICH WAS (CLAIMED BY ME TO HAVE BEEN) DELIBERATELY LEFT OUT OF THE COLLECTION/DEPOSIT REPORTS TO MAKE IT SEEM AS THOUGH MONEY WAS SHORT-DEPOSITED. I’m surprised that it never came out that Ali also flatly stated that ‘Link’ sent in invoices for tent rentals that Ali stated NEVER came to Camden….& I charge ppl to set up food stalls in Camden for races…
.
as I said…don’t borrow…all public documents are available…allyuh want to see a " good, honest and transparent president"….when allyuh hear the audio of some of the meetings where Ali cuss & get on when I opposed his stymied attitude, allyuh go bawl !!!
.
All of the above AND MORE, I have written to the Board of Trustees (copying the TTASA Secretary as per protocol), but it seems to have been buried like when Mangalsingh closed the door for the motion of no-confidence at the AGM by stating "there will be no incoming/outgoing correspondence".
.
Mangalsingh SING for his supper that night & all-ah-dem sacrificed their consciences in the face of blatant violations of the constitution to sit on that sham management. Can you imagine a TTASA TRUSTEE stating to membership that the constitution should not be followed ??? And, so orchestrated this was, persons present actually applauded this farsical statement.
.
Well you all know the outcome of above….I, Link Sampath, walked out of that fiasco, & Ali got up & said he will be a ‘good, honest and transparent president’….ONLY SUBSTANTIATING WHAT HE WAS PRIOR

you missed the part when as you left the new Vice President and Treasurer laughed with each other at you.
But careful Link, you might get shooed away like Vinda and Vinny Ramsingh, or a suspension like Hannif Abrahim or expulsion like Radha for talking like that against Ali.

now I’m confused link because every time the guys ask certain questions you say ask our affiliate clubs , this is headache boy , I want to go live Puerto Rico , US or Australia , Yes I love the Sport so much to do that, Who knows I go find a nice wifey there too. lol

Jul 14th, 2012
why are you confused?
Link was Ali’s vice president, his goon. So Link was spreading on the TTASA/Ali bullsheit with a shovel on the forum.
Link eventually realised what Ali and Vera are really up to and so he opposed them the democratic way in an election but they dismissed him with lies and propaganda as dictators usually do. I’m pretty sure Vera put Aaron Dowridge up to verbally beating down Link in front everyone just minutes before the elections.
It is not confusing at all. Link is not on the TTASA executive again so he can now speak the truth without getting bawl up from Ali.

the truth can’t get u suspended or expelled…
wrt the Ramsinghs…& myself when I openly opposed Ali’s sheit……they simply eliminate all communication with you…that’s what happened to Vinda Sr when he opposed Ali…….
Hanif just got caught up in an unfortunate situation & Ali used that to eliminate him…again because Hanif disagreed with Ali’s dictatorial policies.
.
the Radha issue is the rabbit ears of it all……..or, is it the rabbit foot ???
.
don’t forget, TTASA is a public association, an NGO/NGB accountable for it’s actions & governed by a legal Constitution…that same document that Ali & Mangalsingh railroaded on 11Jul12…that lawyer present K.Ratiram said should not be tampered with…
.
I done getting a ’setta’ fone calls asking me not to rock the boat, FIA President coming just now, fix mih business within the Association,………..ALL B.S. when Ali could tell everybody Link tief to discredit my candidacy for elections….& think he could get away with that ?? I will expose everything

i really don’t understand how joining ttasa, giving them money, and letting ali see that the group attracting people would help solve the problem. when u inside, no matter how much u oppose, the management still does what they want, and the detractors are shunned, embarrassed, sidelined for exercising their right to criticize.
when ur inside ttasa, how much change, or what kind of change were u able to acheive link, and u did have the weighty post of vice president?
how much change can a normal member effect?

ONE member is a drop in the barrel………WHO HAS THE INFLUENCE TO MOVE THE WHOLE BARREL ??
Membership has power -TOGETHER- INSIDE- the only way to achieve honest, hardworking transparent Management committees is to be able to vote for same & be able to demand the accountability you are clamouring for……..
ONLY TTASA MEMBERSHIP CAN DO THAT
.
with few members, Ali can railroad them…don’t you all now realise that by telling ppl to join affiliate organisations, Ali maintained control of a ‘few’ members ?? EVERYBODY is entitled to be members of TTASA …IN ADDITION TO ANY OTHER ORGANISATION….
The provision of the Constitution that prevents other motorsport organisation members from becoming Management members is there to prevent conflict-of-interest issues with those said motor sport organisations.

Now LINK saying join TTASA so one can make a change but YOU yourself just get kicked demoted for trying to do, maybe the right thing?, So do you mean if you did not ”Steal” the Money you could have make a difference? Ent All Members of the Past who tried to Oppose them including you, get thrown out for some blame, so anyone who joins now will just be blamed for some Ramdom Chuppidness like the rest, so why you Telling we To join eh.
Supposing when they are Promoting a member to a higher post they spitefully put ‘’something” on them for blame purposes, so when there is exposure to their Evil doings they will just bring out Defensive ‘’something” which usually is a valuable like money. So ”Throw him out/Demote Him , he gone against plus he cant account for the ‘’something” ”
As I say we need to advertise and make them popular like Kony lol and Link , You have alot of files to bust on them , you could probably assist to reveal them to the Public. hmmmmm

.
as I say to you…one individual CANNOT MAKE A DEFFERENCE…
if you so want an accountable, bonafide National Governing Body, your calls are correct….GET RID OF THE ENTIRE TTASA MANAGEMENT & INSTALL FRESH BLOOD !!!………..but how do you do that ????….
BY BECOMING A MEMBER OF TTASA, DEMANDING & UNDERSTANDING THE CONSTITUTION & VOTING FOR PROPER DEVELOPMENT & IMPROVMENT OF MOTOR SPORT IN T&T….

#1 – BECOME AFFILIATED TO THE NGB

nothing happens out of sequence & the longer you all take to get that through the thick skulls, the more difficult & stressful for motor racing development to prosper in T&T.

this is the evolving section of the TTASA Constitution (not from the official version which , to my knowledge as at Tuesday 12jul12, has not yet been signed-off by the TTASA Trustees) that enables the MSGC.
.
why can’t all motor sport organisations take step 1 ?…this enables ALL motor sport organisations to come under the umbrella of the NGB & access resultant benefits.

Link, what if this is all a ploy to get people to join TTASA.. Next thing you and Ali setup thing whole thing get people to join, then in a few month allyuh men back together again.. I still finding it hard to believe that you have been publicly accused of "thiefin money" but yet you never file a defamation of character suit against Ali or anyone else that accused you..

From all of this bacchanal [big understatement] looking from the outside in. I love T&T and its motorsport heritage. As much as I love it, it pains me to see that a bunch of power hungry, greedy and selfish misfits are running the show!
How utterly disgusting!!! I’d expect to see this kinda thing in Parliament, but here too?!??! What the rasclat is this!!!!!
With the upcoming elections, I hope that all of you in the TTASA do your part and oust these wicked parasites from sucking our sport dry!!!!!!

Well, one must wonder what is the truth?
Link, I want you to scan those docs and post the links on this forum FOR EVERYONE TO SEE. I do not endorse you calling people out without showing us the proof. And no, I’m not calling you. I just want to see with my own two eyes and then FULLY judge this unfortunate thing called the TTASA for myself, without having to be swayed by opinions and complaints!!!!
And in case you’re wondering, no, I’m not a member [nor will I ever be if this keeps up], nor am I a sympathiser. Just a guy seeking the truth from the banter.

me eh seekin no truth, i doh care who thief what. what i interested in is the disbanding and the dissolution of ttasa as is.
so let me get this straight, join ttasa, get voting status, and vote in new management.
how long must a person be in ttasa to get voting status?
all what must be done to be eligible to vote?
how long must a person be in ttasa to be able to contest president or any other management post?
if an affiliate club gets voting status, does it have one vote or does each member of that affiliate club vote for people?
i only voting for some one that cadiz recommends.
i smelling a rat or something fishy, but as an operator, i consider all avenues with adequate extrapolation.
waiting on the demise of ttasa by natural means would be quite long. hoping for the intervention of government to remove NGB status may be futile. any legal action to demonstrate that ttasa not fit to hold NGB status may be impossible.

This is all highly suspect. Crying down the current management, then quoting constitution that says everything "is at the discretion of TTASA", and then encouraging affiliate clubs to join? Be the change from within? But there is no within, just without.

that only means that u will stand outside the grocery always complaining yr hungry…BUT U ENT GOIN’ INSIDE TO FACE THE CASHIER
.
don’t be a coward like Ali………INVEST IN THE FUTURE OF MOTOR SPORTS IN T&T…join TTASA & be part of that investment…
.
otherwise….walk ah 1/4 mile to a fence & swan whole day trying to see something because ’somebody’ fraid to invest some $$$ to build spectator stands for yuh…
& come on 2nr to complain ‘mosquito bite mih…grass tickle mih…sun bun mih…rain fall & mih muddy
..it’s all a joke….
Link, i understand the point you’re trying to make here, but as long as Ali there NO ONE’S VOICE will be heard. I mean look at what he did to John Powell… the fact is the only way TTASA can become anything positive is ALI and present administration must be replaced

it’s a sham management…
only 18 members eligible to vote according to the Constitution…& mangalsingh tells members to ignore the Constitution, illegally vote in a management without a quorum of voters, have ali’s chorus group shout down anybody who dares object…
and to top it off…
ali says he will be a ‘good, honest, transparent president’ ???
.
more to come …in single doses…
