It doesn't say anything about the state of the sport or reflect anything that's sad, in any way. As long as there have been race cars, there have been racers that have been networking, putting the word out, wheeling and dealing. etc. to let others know that they were available to race. Especially for "one off" races, like this one is for Dave. It's just that it's 2017 and social media is the fastest way to let the greatest amount of people know, in the shortest amount of time. It beats the hell out of making a bunch of cold calls or knocking on doors.
