Jim,
I've won a lot of races and lost more. I've pro raced and was at LRP in the womb. Worked corners and shagged cones. I've PMed you the details as it seems like bragging to list in public, but suffice to say I've been around more then 18 years.
Not only am I able to do all of the jobs you have listed but have the experience to make informed decisions and know how it will effect the drivers on the front row as well as the guys at the back. This is my biggest problem with guys like yourself. The torturing of the rules to give the impression that they "have" something on those "driver" types and making decisions and rules without having to "live" by them. It perpetuates the "us and them" feeling between workers and drivers.
I apologize to you as my remarks are not directed at you personally but more at the group of people that in my eyes you represent. I'm sure our paths will cross in the future and I welcome you to come by my pit for a beer and a chat. I'm more then happy to get involved and share the knowledge of a lifetime of racing to hopefully make things better.
