A few years ago, I wanted to sponsor a USAC team for engines and only two guys called.....one was Hunter Schuerenberg and the other was Casey Shuman......really, someone placing an add to supply two 410 engines and only 2 calls. I decided to go with Hunter but Casey would have ben a great choice too.
Lots of drivers had their freinds email or text me some emailed me directly....but only two took the time and effort to call. One guy even sent me his address so I could send him the motors. He thought he was that good.
So, based on the above facts, I would say that the drivers that are willing to dedicate themselves and work hard to race find rides and sponsorship, the others sit around and grouse about how "some people get all the breaks". There are three type of racers....racers that make things happen, racers that watch things happen, and racers that wonder what happened.....guess who gets the breaks.

How did Paul Harvey say it, " And now the rest of the story"
Josh called you several times with no reply so he left messages his email address and a ton of ways for you to get back after several no callbacks from you.
Finally Josh got a hold of you only to be told how unprofessional Josh was and that he had a lot too learn about the great sport of Sprint Car Racing, Josh then reminded you that you had bought a car from him just a few months prior and said goodbye.
Not sure if you just forgot that part of the story or what but the way you treated Josh was as unprofessional as it gets.
Just my thoughts on your reply.
