Discussion on motorsport complexities and team representation (Part 4)

There's more chefs in the kitchen than any other sport. There's so many people that decisions have to be cleared by here that I think it just stifles our progress. I mean, I think you can see that in many different walks of life here. Yeah, I could heavily agree with that because we don't have a center point. Like again, I say that the agendas and the politics exist in a lot of these sports. But some of these conversations are easier to have because take most motorsports, the teams have some sort of union representation. So let's say the teams disagree a bit, but they can take it to a vote and go, okay, 70% of the teams want to change this. It's going to move on. Because now the person who's set to represent them will take that to the powers that be. The promoter group. Promoter's got a simple one person that does it. The, the athletes, drivers, riders, wherever you want to call them have unions. So they may all agree, but they're going to vote in some way and then one person takes it. So at the end of the day, some other group has maybe got only a couple people in a room arguing where in our sport, the smallest room of arguments still probably has 20 people in it. So it gets messy really, really fast. Yeah. And then even beyond that room, the manufacturers approve something and then the satellite teams go, well, they didn't ask us. Why didn't they ask us? Almost it comes full circle to what I said about the manufacturer question. Our paddock is so convoluted that where do you draw a line? It's, it's almost out of hand in the sense of how many people a, have a say, but also how many people believe they should have a say. That's perhaps a bigger problem here. That's, that's still a tough one where the sport really comes down to, I don't want to misstep here. And people think, I mean, I don't care for privateers. I don't want to get into that argument. But I, I, this came up with the sound rule or the, the homologate or the, you know, how many years you can run a bike on here, people complain. Well, that's because of Johnny, whatever his name, that tried to show up some national, okay, if you're showing up to race a professional national and you're, you can't repack a silencer every 10 hours and you're trying to race more than a five year old bike or something like, I'm sorry man, this is not the place for you there's plenty of racing you can go do. This is not the place we are. We're at a state where you kind of got to make a decision. Are we going to be forever Chicken Licks Racing Raceway, or are we going to be taken serious as a professional sport with standards? Yeah. Yeah. Time to get aggressive. If I could wave my magic wand and have a rule pass, I would make it so that everyone has to use D.
