All these people have dreams as well....they might just to participate....to do the best in their minds...and others want to go to Advanced. Our Advanced drivers started somewhere. Sometimes I have gotten the impression that some people in the Advanced have forgotten their roots and neglect to remember that it costs the lower ranked people the same amount to compete. (Yes I do realize it costs more to compete a pair and a team, to have more equipment and grooms but the entries are the same. At times it seems that they feel the event is for them alone and they should be catered to....I have run into a lot of rudeness on the part of some Advanced drivers. This is not to say that ALL advanced drivers are rude...in fact the rude ones are in the minority, but they sure make enough noise to be in the majority.
