I would like to say that this doesn't always work in this type of business. Too a point yes but you know John at Flamboro has been there for years. Every driver that runs there knows that to run and complain to John goes on deaf ears. Why? because he will tell you to leave take the car somewhere else if you don't like it.
Just remember guys your NEVER gonna please all of the people (as an owner) Everyone has a different approach in business some work some don't. Glen was a people pleaser, while this might have pacified the drivers it did NOTHING for the business.
Steve Slaughter had it together but even them I heard many comments about how he did things. Even back to the Shakell's some liked them some didn't. I don't think anyone in ownership status will ever win a popularity contest. At least in all my years around the speedways I've never seen it. It's no different than that winning race car driver people either love him or hate him.
