I catch a lot of flak from a small minority of highly vocal critics in the NHRA chat rooms for making business and EE career decisions they question. But since they don’t reveal their names, financial or business credentials, I can only assume they have experience, investment capital and personal commitment to our team that surpasses my almost 30 years experience as a the CEO and Chairman of seven publicly-owned technology and personal skills training companies.
Our current board includes guys and girls responsible for more than $1 billion of revenue from 10,000 clients around the world and my fellow development board members from the business school at Texas A&M University are pretty bright as well. But apparently my personal money and business experience along with our team of advisors need some additional help from these anonymous critics. My contact info is on our web site and my cell number is not hard to get if they would like to call and help us understand what this braintrust of highly successful business guys are doing wrong and why they care anyway.
The path we took to put Erica in her own car, driving for herself (on family money) was well thought out and exactly what we needed to do until we land a new primary sponsor. Staying with our good friend Victor Cagnazzi would have been great performance-wise but Slammers was already in financial trouble and slow in paying (if at all) when we left.
