MotoAmerica | 2024 | Silly Season

cool, thanks Dave…

older Nissans?

 

Because I had a brain fart. Was talking with someone about Sonoma while posting. (Facepalm).

 

Jenny Tinmouth ran a couple seasons of BSB and IoM TTs.

Nice to see some international interest and talent on the grid.

 

I started to mention her and Katja Peterson I think it was had some euro success on a Corona GSXR

 

Your post sounds good but it's pretty far from reality.

There is plenty of paid rides in car racing. This isn't just a MA or motorcycle racing thing.

I'd vernutre to say most of sports car teams are funded by rich guys buying a seat.

 

Absolutely true, but this sasdly is the age of social media. And social media wins sponsorship. I think she could make a very entertaining vlog or even postcast host, for instance. Quite a few racers who appeal to sponsors have remained employed longer than other racers with more racing talent.

 

Not just you specifically but a lot of people here keep bringing this up as a new issue. Specifically the last part of your lost has been true as long as there has been racing and sponsors.
If you appeal to sponsors you get to keep racing if you don't you go away. It's never just mattered how fast you are.

 

That was a hacked quote from Talladega Nights.

 

This thread has devolved into another beeb shitshow. Facts and news people.

 

That's definitely one of the best places to hide it from me. I can't stand that movie.

 

which part of it didn’t you understand, not arguing, all of my experiences are facts and reality, seriously as I’ll explain anything

I stated that I’m hoping that they don’t play the pay a ride thing

I know that plagues all forms of racing but Ben and the Rahals have never paid to ride afaik

racing can exist on a real money earning platform based on media impressions as it’s advertising

 

I didn't say it was new, although I'm certain that I could find more unpleasant successful racers from 30-40 years ago than you could find today. I was saying that social media is now how that appeal is measured. And some are better at that than others.

 

I get the sponsorship thing. But from what I've seen I don't see how some of the attempts to produce videos using sponsor's products help. Dumping frozen ground beef into a frying pan, using store bought shredded cheese and pouring salsa out of a jar to make a taco is appealing to someone but I'm not sure who. It doesn't showcase the sponsors product.

Maybe I'm jaded from having worked on commercial photoshoots for food products but those videos make me cringe. When I showed them to a professional food stylist I've worked with she laughed her ass off. What I'm saying is it takes forethought and execution to represent sponsors effectively and I haven't seen that yet.

 

Acosta was just quoted as saying the series needs rivals again because that’s what fans want to see… maybe he’ll be that guy

 

That's not quite what I had in mind. I was thinking racing (or even lifestyle, or whatever young people watch) vlog/podcast sponsored by Bob's Frozen Beef.
