if instead we treat them as if they are going to obey the rules, they just might. (Guess not that you personally are going to be out there)
I love prejudice as much as the next guy, guess i just love pointing it out even more. Carry On! Carry On! (glad to see you are back to normal!) |
Actually, I will be out there. In fact, I'm the safety steward for the event, i.e. the guy that's going to have to kick out the idiots that decide to try to drift the course and risk the safety of the courseworkers. I think I may be the person that should be most concerned with the possibility of a bunch of immature ricers showing up to run. And I always treat people as though I expect them to obey the rules. That's the reason I get pissed when people don't obey the rules... I expected them to known better!
If I've learned anything about the import tuner crowd, it's that prejudice towards expecting asshattery is usually warranted. In fact, usually the asshattery exceeds expectations. Do I hope a bunch of tools show up to race just so I can be "right"? Hell no! The last thing I want to deal with is kicking out people from the race, or worse shutting down an unsafe event. But it wouldn't be the first time SCCA's had to do such a thing.
