Kinda off topic but I would love to help out in some way. I work as an IT person for an insurance broker and I could inquire to see if I could help with insurance info and maybe special pricing if this would help. I could get us all the free info we need for sure on the what's needed and what's not. If someone is interested PM me and we will start inquring.

 

for sure thats awesome. It seems like everyone has something to contribute...water truck and tractor? LOL

so what did Tam do? i dont wanna bash him or anything, but sounds like he dropped the ball?

 

No, no dropping the ball, more like speaking up out of turn. Instead of working with the organizers and building a championship apart from a sanctioning body or organizing alternate events with different venues, he went and outright dissed SCCA to NASA officials and came back and dissed SCCA to the face of the SCCA executives, telling them that NASA would be taking over the local Rallycross sanction- to which their reply was "good riddence".

While he may have had the best intentions, his choice of tactics pretty much wiped out SFR SCCA support for rallycross.

Some day he will learn that this approach isn't the best way to win friends and influence people into supporting your efforts.

 

^ You'd think common sense would have kicked-in at some point during that whole process. Always be gracious, always be diplomatic.

shakes head

SCCA isn't perfect, but what was so bad that he had to dis on them so adamantly? After dropping ProRally (a whole different story) SCCA were going to give more attention to RallyCross.

 

if anyone wants to tally up people to help, count me in. i found 2 traffic cones in my yard. one of the 2pc 3 1/2 footers tall, and one tall pointer cone.

and any other way(except money) to help too.

 

LOL lets see...i gotta stick o' gum...a paperclip...rubberband...2 nickels 1 dime and 4 pennies.

My friends family runs the pumkin patch/christmas tree farm in Mountain View, the last piece of land there. They have a million in insurance from what i heard, but it isnt there land...my point is that they will have lots of tractors when theyre done (land sold for like 30+ million) so i got a few tractors up my sleve in about a year. One has a rototiller attachment and i made my own rallycross on their land, very very smooth, then some high school kids came in a jeep and ruined it for me.

guess were gonna have to rally nomad style for a year or so.
