DP, this is the old attitude that pisses people off. We do worry about it. We worry that you say you will be there and not show up, we worry that you will quit after getting your but kicked in the first race. We worry that the harmony of this great SRM league and thread will be tarnished with your asinine and thoughtless comments. We worry that a slower driver who shows up every week will not be able to race because you join then quit.
I have played team sports all my life and every team had a DP, a guy who is only in it for himself, who has no concept of what being on a team means. SRM is a team, ya, we,compete, but the team atmosphere is certainly there. We help each other get better, like a team. As a team, we would take the guy out back to the woodshed for a tuning up and if that didn't work, a friendly fire injury in practice took care of the problem.
My solution for DP, if the room gets full of regulars, DP is the first to get kicked. If he shows up for a race and a rgular guy wants in, DP gets kicked. DP doesn't get to pick a livery till all regulars have picked first. If DP quits in the middle of a race night, he is prohibited from next weeks race. There has too be consequences for actions. I think double secret probation is in order.
Sorry DP, harsh...yep, but too many people in the community have tried the woodshed approach....me and Aero included and I am convinced the synapse in your brain that follows good advice has been sitting on the crapper too long. It just doesn't sink in. So be it, show up or don't, just don't expect to be welcomed with open arms until you can join the TEAM, be a team member, stop being a Wanker and get with the plan.
GoBan out.
