Long view but good (except for the trailer sales pitch). Gives some insight from Chief directly.
I definitely get some of what he's talking about, especially that "one guy" that always butts right in to your pit regardless of what's going on.
Having the only FGF road racing in the Southeast at Vintage events and usually by myself I get distracted a lot by people stopping at the trailer, some of it is welcome and fun, too much or wrong time is a royal pain.
At larger events sometimes I'll go or stay inside the trailer when I see people walking up to the car, and just sitting down outside to eat lunch is a problem. The lunch break when the track goes cold can be the only downtime we have, while fans use it to walk the pits and talk. Can't tell you how many times I haven't had time to eat because of that, multiply that by how many fans he has and I can't even imagine.
