Well gee whiz. Have you put on a lot of events? I have. Even a "small" 100
car event requires a team of dedicated volunteers who must give up
concentration on their own driving and prep to run the event. I am not
talking about normal worker positions where the responsibility is light and
the time investment is short. I am talking about overall responsibilty for
things like timing, scoring, posting, safety, protest, tech.
I, for one, am very happy that I only have to administer my local events.
Having been responsible for just one part of one Divisional, I can say that
it is very difficult, time consuming and frustrating. I am very happy to pay
the extra money to let professional, full-time people run these big events.
If left to volunteers and regions (or even divisions) the quality and
quantity of our major events would fall drastically.
