"I think that rally has shown more growth over the last two years than probably any other form of motorsport. This is a somewhat extreme motorsport, and SCCA has got strong roots in rally-that's basically where it started.
Yeah, there are some people who are trying to get into the rally market, but we're going to be very aggressive in our push. I view this as that's our property, the SCCA's, and if were not doing a good enough job to keep the organizers with us, the rallyists with us, then we need to change our model to keep them.
We don't have, I think, the luxury to welcome other competitors in here-competitors, meaning other sanctioning bodies-to get into the rally business. SCCA is notorious at helping people come in and get a foothold, and patting them on the back and showing them how to do it, and then we're wondering all of a sudden where our are members going, where our are sponsors going.
You're going to see a very aggressive SCCA in the future. I look at rally as ours; it's ours to lose and we're going to step up our efforts at improving services to the organizers, services to our competitors, so that they don't want to go to another organization to rally."
Okay. Now's the time to put you money where your mouth is. Personally, I give them until next Tuesday, 2 weeks, to see some significant news. Without club, eventually you'll have no pro.
