I think so. Fans don't pay for admission so it's not like they're helping the pot. At the same time, sponsors are trying to get to the fans wallets which is why they put out the sponsorship dollars. You need them all but true racers are there for the race and will race wether fans show or not.Quote:

Sorry that not as many people as you hped were willing to part with their money for your kids entertainment.
I wan't there because I don't happen to agree with the format. I have that choice just like the millions of other boaters that didn't enter.
Did you park your brain when you wrote that? Races are put on every weekend throughout the country, with no sponsors. You have it in your mind that they are out there for you entertainment or some big ass pay out. THEY ARE NOT!!Quote:

Until then, STFU and enjoy the 3 boats that might show up to entertain you ass FOR FREE
Let's keep this civil please.
Well its hard to stay civil when somebody thinks YOU owe him and his kid some entertainment and you are an asshole if you don't spend 5K doing so.
If you were a real racer you would have been out there entertaining everyone. Quit being cheap and start dancing.Quote:

Is it ok to think you an asshole for other reasons?Quote:

Real racers don't race every event. So I don't think calling him out for not being at this race is relevant. He's already explained his reasons behind his decision. And it's not a matter of being cheap either.Quote:

Everybody chooses when and where to spend there money and who to support with there time and money. What movies you decide to go see, what restaurants to eat at, where to drink, what to drink. Racing is no different.Quote:
