What did you mean by that?

Well, uh, first off, I would say that this is probably common for a lot of us in many of the hobbies that we do, you know, what- whatever you're doing.

But when people come to the track, for us in an event, I typically have about 60 registered drivers, and maybe another 10 to 15 people that are kind of serving, helping me out as staff, experienced guys, instructors, that kind of stuff.

So you're sitting in a paddock with somewhere between 60 to 80 people, and out of those, if you're a brand new person, 70 of them have way more experience than you do.
14:47
And they're all there to hang out with people that are doing the same things.
14:51
And they're more than willing to talk to you.
14:54
And yet so many people that show up, they're there for the first time, for whatever reason they don't go talk to these people.
