Just yesterday Edwards & Young Racing posted a video/slideshow of some of the photos Chris took out at the Northwest Nationals this past weekend. Chris has even uploaded some of the pictures to Facebook for local racers to have for their family collection of racing memories.
But that wasn’t enough! He was asked just today to print out one of the pictures and send it to the gentleman that made the request! People, on Facebook it is easy to save and download a picture by clicking “options” below the individual picture. Then you can download it, print it, or use it for ass wipe if you like.
Edwards & Young Racing throughout the years has shared our experiences, has posted technical articles to help our fellow racers, promoted local race tracks and posted vital information on special events, and provided it all for FREE in our efforts to promote our sport! Frankly I don’t see other racing teams doing what we’ve attempted to do. So my challenge to my fellow racers is to start thinking outside the box and consider what YOU can do to promote the sport we all enjoy. And demand less from the few that do.
This year we’ve seen some outstanding photos at Pacific Raceways by Jim Doyle, Anthony Hutchison, and Mark Gardner. Anthony and Mike often post their pictures on Facebook for all to enjoy, free of charge. When you see them at the track stop and thank them for spending hours baking in the blistering sun to capture those special moments for us! – Roger
As you can see, I’m not much for attempting to be PC. In fact I gave up on that thought when I stepped foot in Vietnam in December 1969 and when I came home in late November 1970 and met anti-war protestors at the airport that knew NOTHING about the war in Vietnam. They just wanted a cause for their own attention.
What hacks me off it is becoming human nature for others to EXPECT that those that do attempt to share information, pictures, videos, etc., to do even more while they sit on their collective butts! This is no longer the exception, sadly it has become the norm here in America.
