While I'll concede that taping over decals on a car is not that big a deal, I think having to put duct tape over a patch on a driver's suit is just ridiculous. I mean really. . .who's gonna see it? And who really cares if they do? Are guys gonna leave to race in the other region just because you have a patch on your suit? There's just no logic to it. Besides, there's no Bernie Ecclestone in amateur racing. Or is there. . . . ?
I always thought taping over the other sanctioning bodies decals was kinda pissy and infantile myself.
So what if I race both series if I'm here this weekend...get over your bad ass self!
It's all about fostering good business relationships, growing cooperate involvement (more $) and honoring business contracts. Think bigger guys!
- True there is no Ecclestone ~ But the funds contributed by the tire mfgs probably go toward keeping entry fees a tad lower than what they could be.
- True there is little media coverage at most of our events ~ But any photo published (ie. facebook, forums) containing 'both' tire mfgs or organizations is a branding nightmare for marketing folks.
- And those marketing folks are the charged with finding corporations that want to support & sponsor club racing with the goal of growing it.
- Which also keeps costs in check so we can afford to keep buying their product (entry fees).
