We have to have privateers, without them there isn't a rally. Who want's to see 4 factory cars competing and no one else. This is what has made the sport at all levels.

I have been a novice, a club level, a state level, a national and finally an international competitor. We need all these levels and have people who are novice's dream about the day they can do a State round, then a National round and maybe one day compete at WRC. They are not there to win, but to live a dream and make up the numbers. We have to have them or there is no sport.

And if you tell me I don't know anything then you don't know the sport that I live and love.
