It's obvious the Sick brand is tailored to showcase the top-tier D&D rides in the country, which is fine by me - it's Tom's sandbox, and those guys and gals and the D&D segment of the sport deserve it IMO. Lots of other smaller events to choose from. The little guy just needs to know his/her place if participating in these and not expect to be in the limelight unless you earn the way to that status. Just like the lowly NHRA Sportsman class racer - we know we are bottom of the barrel pond scum, purse-paying, show-fillers for NHRA, and either deal with it or stay home.
