All questions have always been answered in a welcoming way ??? So I don't understand what you mean at all. Mitchie and I joke around so other then that if you search every and all questions have always been answered graciously .... as well as trying to attract new people with open arms and reduce the typical "Race Fear" as being dangerous or the thoughts of "not being able to win so why come" way of thinking.
Trust me I know how life can be. I race my drag car , have a house , run a whole division in my company with a daily portfolio of $2million as well as looking after 63 field personnel , have a fiancé and two daughters and two dogs. Life happens.
At no time has anyone ever said anything like " those people are assholes for not coming " etc etc etc so I'm not sure why you seem defensive about me/us trying to drum up interest as there's only two races per year. I don't care what , how or who as long as we try and populate the interest in the drags. That's my only goal as being some one who loves it and is trying to help out. I don't even race !!!!! ( unless Mr.Biglow insists hahah )
The frustation is widespread amount the participants and organizers about the amount of boats we as Ontario have but people aren't interested. We have a class for every type of boat and power level.
This is meant to be a positive post so don't think of it otherwise !!!
Lets get the interest up in hopes of saving the great opportunity we now have thanks to those who've gotten it this far.
