As of the 31st of December Fran Scully is resigning from Motor Cycling Ireland
After been involved with the sport of motorbike racing for over 40 Fran felt he was left with no option but to relinquish all involvement with the sport that he loves.
Fran was a short circuit and road racer,a scrutineer,chief scrutineer, F.I.M technical steward and a director of Motor cycling Ireland.
The decision to resign was not an easy one for Fran but he felt it was one he had to make because of the actions by some members of M.C.I. He had been told by the short circuit committee that he must give a scrutineers licence to an individual who,for various reasons,Fran along with others felt was unsuitable as a scrutineer
Fran resigned as chief scrutineer at the end of June.
In November at the AGM of MCI a current scrutineer was elected chief scrutineer defeating Fran in a ballot by 15 votes to 12. Not having the support of the majority of MCI delegates and his concerns for the standard of scrutineering Fran felt he had to disassociate himself completely from the sport
There will be some glad to see him go but for those who understood what he was trying to do for the safety and well being of riders,officials and the sport in general will miss him. THANK YOU FRAN…..
