Delicate Time for the Catagory
There is apparently some spilt milk. Which has happened with every fledgling pro racing series in the sport's history. At the outset, it happened with IMSA, NASCAR, USAC, SCORE, AAA, WoO -- really, the whole alphabet soup of professional auto racing sanctioning bodies.
Only the SCCA can avoid these things. They put on amateur events and that supports all else.
Trying to promote something new and professional in auto racing is HARD.
Something must be built from nothing. To get that something going, the only tool a promoter has is his own excitement, his hopes and dreams -- his vision for the future. That's all that he can use to attract sponsors, media, viewers and competitors -- all those hard-to-get things neccessary to put on a real and actual pro racing series.
It's inevitable that there will be some "horses before the cart" along the way, some well-intentioned promises that can't be fully kept. It's the nature of the beast. And the way it's always been...
I think patience is needed now. Barring any flat out fraud (which I have no reason to think even vaguely exists), give the promoter a break. He is building something from nothing... building it only with his hopes and dreams... and all the smoke he can generate.
Only if everyone helps to the degree they can... will the F1000 Championship series survive and prosper. But if it does, all of us benefit hugely.
