Re: Another Unemplyed TF Driver
Looking back Sam, it could have all been a fabrication.
The person calling me from the track that day to say there might be a driving/team collaboration opportunity available could have heard the story from the originator.
The team authorized spokesperson I called the next day surely would have been in on the ruse.
When I talked to Doug a few days later he had plenty of time to rehearse.
If it is/was a fabrication, it sure was a difficult way just to change drivers because of money.
In the "good ole days", more of the people with money were into cars and mechanically inclined. The cars were simpler and it took only two or three to run a top car. You could go buy your motor at KB's, Pink's or Waterman's, get a chassis and go race. Seldom did they work on the cars at the track.
Today, it takes a small company of individuals to run a car. That is the biggest factor today that keeps car counts down. Get 8 - 12 individuals together that work, travel, and do a lot of socializing together and see how long you can stand the drama that develops.
I believe the reason the super categories are thriving is that a person can buy his quality equipment, go out and compete by him/her self or with one helper. I know pro-comp was popular at the beginning because you could run a blown car with a driver and one helper. Not today.
Don't know who told you this, but this is a LIE!
Driver herself told me she bought everything with her. In fact, Foley gave her her driving suit back to her as she was leaving the premises that day.
