The dedication factor remains the same, Bonnie. I believe that there is a solid cadre of workers that are all making those races that they can, as they can, where we can. And to each owns satisfaction.
My race schedule pretty much matches Grandpa Pettybone's, usually. Save this year I didn't participate in the March Enduro, or first race @ PR, but it's not unusual for some to make each and every event in one capacity or another.
You're welcome, Colin.
And thank you, any, and all those driver participants that have, for many years, helped to subsidize these efforts with their donations either through individuals sponsorships, and contributions to each club's worker fund at these events. It most certainly enables those experienced bodies, while promoting and motivating new ones to come out and enjoy this, our great sport. Even in the rain... Sometimes, especially in the rain.
So important is the maintainance of that symbiosis. Those that work at driving and those that work at keeping them safe at any venue. I believe that it is that relationship which dictates the true solvency of the Conference, too.
We don't want to over-extend either entity physically, nor force the limits of financial capacities to collapse due to undue pressures to achieve. How many races to really prove a champion of any given class?
I might rather have one big <<<Blast>>> weekend for each club, and call it good for the year. Figure out some kind of point structure to support it. Then everybody gets to go to every track because there's only gonna be 5 toes... tows.
I might. But I'm just gonna go to the ones I want anyway.
'Cuz that's what we do.
