First off, my own grumblings, public and private have inspired me to write this. I have been a grump and that's not what I want my rally experience to be about. I apologize if it has rubbed off on anyone along the way.
And frankly, there has been a lack of positive discussion here lately. If I was in charge of SS I would be shaking my head. Has it enabled us to act our worst?
When I first saw rally I never dreamed that I would be lucky enough to actually drive a rallycar. I know that there are plenty of spectators and workers out there who have the same dream. It's more fun than just about anything.
That's what we all should focus on...the positive. It's not a right, it's a priveledge. We have all put so much into the sport. In light of that investment of time, money, and passion I think we should try to hold our heads a bit higher and be thankful for what we have.
Let's do our best to treat each other with respect in our relationships and find common bonds. We battle machinery, nature, and the clock so hard that we shouldn't nitpick with each other. We should try and lend a wrench, a tire, a part, a hand, or firewood and pasties whenever we can.
We all have things we would like to see change. I think it starts with respecting our fellow rally enthusiasts and the time we have all put in.
