Winning can be a relative thing, but the big thing is to be at the top of the list, isn't it? <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> There is only room for one (person/team) at the top, so there is no big surprise that attrition is a problem in racing.
But when I wanted to pump up support for a youth event, one of my first thoughts was, "how do I get a PRO, big name, hot-shot to come and talk to the kids?"
That is on the fringe of the question, but OK. If the world champion was an amateur or a pro, what difference would it make to the kids?
