It's an intereting subject, my mates and I were just talking about the same thing except we were discussing what we could be doing in a positive light to aid our countries team to the TDN and develop more interest in the sport of trials at a local level...You make it all sound very negative. People need to support their country to be part of something as a selfless act. Support a team/idea/etc.....for reasons that have absolutely no benefit to them on a personal level. That is why teams go to the olympics to compete, to represent their country and their people. I am sure that in your area of the world there are a few young lads and lasses that have very big dreams of TDN competition. Your job would be to foster those dreams in a positive way and do all you can to help them acheive these goals. Land use issues in the US are no different then in my part of the world, so maybe you can set a TDN goal of X amount of dollars and the rest goes towards gaining land for the club.....Does your TDN team make it that hard to support them, I would think not..........Ask not what your sport can do for you but what YOU can do for your sport........MADMAX
