Boy, your insite into all things drag race related is profound.
BUT...you just made a GREAT point, prolly without even knowing it. First you accuse the guys organizing these classes of not having "some simple sales skills", then you suggest they "step aside" and let someone else who has the "proper people skills" take over. Well, which is it? Sales skills, or people skills? I have been "selling" to "people" quite successfully for over 25 years, so I know the difference. Do you? I mean, Sam Walton was a GREAT seller, but he was a TERRIBLE people person. Just sayin.
Anyway, to the point you made without knowing it. These guys run and organize these events and race classes in many cases because there simply is NO ONE else that is going to do it. You yourself just said you couldnt get involved because you cannot afford it. Well, dont feel like the Lone Ranger. So, "stepping aside" in favor of someone with "proper people skills" (or sales skills depending on who you ask), isnt always an alternative. These guys are doing a big service to the Buick community for very little if any reward. Many times the only reward is a pat on the back or a couple free beers in the pits.
So, instead of "being so hard" on these guys, why not offer your support in a more constructive, less combative way. Trust me, your "people and selling skills" will thank you for it. :wink:
