It's Time to Put up or Shut Up!

[MAXIMUS]

It seems that after last years event, a lot of people wanted to step up and be a part of the race to get some more exposure and mileage from the race. However after speaking with these people for the past 11 months none have given a firm commitment to be a sponsor of the event. Ben you and your family have been the backbone of support for this event and I appreciate everything. Whatever anyone want's to do at this point would be great!
Thanks,
Ross

Well then my friend consider it done...

......is kind of a standard. My Dad and I experienced much of what is going on here. But back when I was racing, there were still enough racers to show up and make a good field. Having been involved in putting on events I know the frustration. Who else is going to put forth an effort if all you get is a handful of dedicated racers in a desolate pit area waiting for no shows. Think about how the guys that spent so much time and money out of their own pocket feel when the five minute cannon fires, or the Le Mans starting flag is up and only five answer the call. Doesn't make them want to come back and try again.

I hope there is a last minute rush. Racers just too busy to send in the entry form. I know I am bad about that. I have enjoyed reading all the chatter and results from BWRC from the outset, and I would hate to see it all go away when things seemed to be going great. It was because of BWRC that I rejoined APBA after 24 years and looked into finding a way to get my son into racing. Sadly, that didn't happen because we are too far away from any racing. But there still is a lot of racing going on out that way. I am hoping that the teams that were talking about coming will come through and make the race. I have read every comment and have thoroughly enjoyed this Blue Water Casino thread and would some day like to come out there for the event if you guys would show up to keep it going.
