I also had attended one of the courses over 10 years ago. Great experience. But how a company does financially is dependent on its management. It is not in trouble due to major storms destroying the facility or some other disaster out of control of the company. Management got it to this position. And its management will either turn it around or not. It would be a true loss as a resource for all of us want-to-be race car drivers in the past and the future. But it is a business, not the end of the world.

Just because you are a great artist does not always transfer to being great at running a business to teach others how to be the same.

Coming from Silicon Valley and working for many "startups" I served in transition management rolls many times. I personally believe that sooner or later, every great management team needs to accept that a new team needs to be in place to move the company forward. Times and markets change and so must the mission of the company.

No dis-respect Bob. He is a truly great driver. And his success in the seat of the Cobra has much to do with all of our passions for the marque. But the world continues to evolve and so must a business to continue to be relevant.

At 66, I realize that I am not as sharp (no need for you guys to reinforce this, lol) as I used to be. But, to quote Dirty Harry, "A man's got to know his limitations".
