[QUOTE="tommyk90, post: 7518461, member: 545293"] Competing isn't for everyone. It's hard to get NEW people into the sport no matter the costs and whatnot. Even with cheap equipment there are people out there willing to WORK to win, it seems like nowadays people want to just show up and get a trophy. Unfortunately it doesn't work that way. Do I feel bad when I go to a show and beat up on newcomers? Not really, as I've worked my *** off on my truck and anybody else could do the same if they wanted to win. Honestly, the only org. that has a chance with newcomers is bassrace. Literally ANY setup can compete and ANY person can win, whether they are a veteran or a newcomer. All it takes is one or two practice runs and a newcomer can get the hang of things very quickly. All out SPL shows are much more difficult, especially in areas where there are a lot of good competitors. Things around my area died down for a while but luckily thing are starting to come back. I can't say the same for everywhere else, even though I'd like to see things expand no matter what organization it is. [/QUOTE]
