I want to help...

Looking forward to thoroughly getting our ass handed to us at PittRace in Sept.

Please... be gentle!

 

Not everyone has the $$ or work schedule that allows them to follow the entire series. This year I’ll have probably 6-7 track weekend, half WERA half track days. I’ve got a license from WERA.

What do I call myself?

 

A hobbyist. Have fun at the endurance race!

 

I don't know the breakdown of their mix between branding and direct response, but again - someone there (shareholders, upper management, etc.) believe that the ROAS is good enough on that $188 million to continue to spend it annually.

FWIW, we have measurable ROAS of about 4 to 1 on our ad spend (spend is in the 8 figures annually).

 

Lucky??

 

Cameron? He ran faster AFTER he fixed his tire pressure issue.

And that isn't a record, even if records for novices were a thing. He is going pretty fast for relatively little track time based on the conversations I had with him. If he gets his bike sorted out, he could be pretty quick.

 

Riders that race are riders hoping to get/getting some racing action but have yet to fulfill the stipulation I've presented. A racer does not call those people racers. Non-racers call those people racers.

The fallacy is yours. I don't know what they call 'em, but I doubt the real cocksuckers refer to the occasional cocksucker as a cocksucker.
Or do they?

 

There are amateur lap records now? Is there a lap record for 8pm on a Tuesday yet? I might swing for that one.

 

I hold the XR100 lap record at Barber. I'm not one to brag, but I'm kind of a big deal.

 

Amatuer, Expert, Pro, or Trackday? Slicks or DOT Record?

 

All time. I'm the man.

 

not the overall 2up points champion class... the one that requires you to tow an ohvale w/o a TRS

 

Anyone who quits racing while still physically capable of operating a motorcycle is not a racer.

That ought to shut you up for a while.

 

I already have my cock push-up...a handful of 'em.

Papa's dictionary of time...
A while: five minutes.

 

Don't matter. You quit.

 

I mentioned years ago that I would be back...when Pooh creates the Formula 60 class.

It's gonna be a real meat grinder cuz no one's thinkin' about goin' to work on Monday.

 

I would have thought that what happened in Florida with CCS and FMRRA would be a cautionary tale to some other race orgs. A bunch of young people showed up and shook things up with exactly what the OP was suggesting, against a more traditional organization that gave all the same excuses the naysayers are presenting in this and other threads. And they split the group enough to where CCS has largely given up on Florida.

You can argue all you want that social media doesn't matter- and it doesn't for many of the old school, hard core guys and gals. But to recruit new people, you need to adapt to what the younger crowd is looking for and how they are finding it. Many of them don't know what they are doing on a given weekend until Saturday morning, so don't tell me that seeing a Facebook or Instagram ad 10 times the week before about the local race doesn't make a difference. It absolutely does, or FMRRA would not exist.

One of the reasons that FMRRA drew people away was that they made it easier to register, tech, and race. Online signup with a decent mobile site, etc. They are all over social media with produced content, videos, etc. Some of the things they do (like gridding Amateurs and Experts together based on lap times,) I think compromises safety somewhat, but most people seem to like it and it gives practice a more goal oriented feeling.

I don't care how many times it's been re-hashed on various threads, just like any business, you need to continue to innovate or you risk someone coming along and doing it better. Don't say it can't happen, it already did!
