It's a process that we just have to go through more or less to finish it.
It's all going to be safer for the drivers.
We really don't have control over our front door.
When we are selling time-saving products, we can appeal to contractors. But when we sell to homeowners, manufacturers need to advertise to people who will own these homes. We need to plan ahead for product launches. Frequently, manufacturers spring promotions on us with less than 30 days notice.
We know now that nothing could have been farther from the truth. That stuff about full-face helmets was a myth. Now, since Dale died, we have more facts than myths.
A lot of this sounds like we're talking in circles, but we have to get through phase one, ... There's nothing that's not fair game when we get to phase two.

It gives you much more situational awareness. All of the information is right there in front of you (on the screen). Before you had to search around for it.
This was our first race together and everyone did a great job. We were hoping for a better finish, but we had a tight car and just couldn't free it up. It was tough out there today. A lot of crazy things happen on this track and I was happy that we didn't wreck any equipment.
