Why do they not have the same chances? I think they do, but john has just been that much better. The guy is unstoppable, he has a drive that no other driver except maybe garlits has. JMO

It is a fact that john is a very talented driver, and has worked hard to build his empire. But he has an advantage that most the other teams do not have. Being a driver with the championship stattus he has, he gets to choose when his car runs. If you watch closely he always runs last, after all his team mates run. They gather valuable car and track track performance information from his previous running team mates all the way until it is his turn to run. And 9 times out of 10 they make a final adjustment to the car just seconds before they fire up the car for his pass. To me that is an advantage,

That is how schumacher runs all thier cars as well, Tony runs last. You bet if Anton Brown keeps running so good he will be looking for another job about mid season, Like Melanie Troxel was found mid season. not to mention most teams buy most of thier parts. Team Force hand makes all thier own blocks, heads, blowers and injectors in thier shop to thier standards, who can afford to do that. I just find it very well script written anymore to watch it on TV anymore, Force, Shoemaucer, Anderson.

Absolutely true.... And all the big, well financed teams have done the things necessary to create all these advantages. Just some of the perks you get for being good... It's done in many ways at all levels, Rog won Super Gas at the local track last year, now that car gets in free every week which frees up a few bucks we can use to improve the car.... An unfair advantage???? Nope, just one of the many, many methods you use to improve your program!!!!! It also was a good bargaining chip last winter when making the sponsor visits to come up with more $$$$$. Even have one considering a proposal we sent him for next year's new car and new driver....

Another interesting comparison is the way the majority of the Motorsports team conduct themselves with their fans.... To me it seems the stick and ball guys are for the most part aloof, and at times just total snobs when it comes to spending time with fans.... Autograph sessions usually cost money, and most of them won't autograph any merchandise that you didn't buy from their marketing people.... Then go to an NHRA event.... in the top 3 classes, the only thing separating a fan from their favorite drive is some little rope. The "stars" are much more approachable and always let you know that the fans are what makes the sport great......
