East Coast Drivers Union

[Michael Leicht]

I go to comp and don't have time to talk with the drivers. So this give the drivers a chance to talk about first or driving skills or anything. FIRST is great to meet new people from different place. I hope we can learn alot from each other and make the spirit of FIRST work with this union of drivers. Just IM or message us on delphi and we can talk in a chat room on aol instant message thanks.

And we will definitely meet up at Regional events and Nationals. This could only help in a more Unified FIRST and additional help among other teams.

As the other two guys said, this is a GREAT opportunity for drivers to talk to eachother and learn some new tricks of the trade. This union should enforce the whole idea of sportsmanship and gracious professionalism, because in one way or another we will all be helping eachother and meeting new people.

Also, another reason is that teams should know each other personally, because developing friendship is important. Sometimes on the field mishaps happen, and friends generally dont take it seriously, so I feel its a good idea to be good friends with drives you play with and against. Moreover, meeting people is always good

I think this is a wonderful opportunity to network drivers - current and retired. I know myself, I regret not being in touch with a lot of people I spent so many years on the floor with. Many great people from 25 and 103, along with a few others I will always remember working with through many battles. This is a great opportunity, and I look forward to being able to help any of the new drivers that I may be able to pass on some "wisdom" too.

[Corey Balint]

I know a lot of teams that dont like certain teams for the way their driver drives or they just may not like him. This is just a fact, even though people dont want to admit or accept it, it will always be there. I think that with this little union, teams will start getting past those petty quarrels, and start having more fun out their on the field, in the pits, and in the stands. By making friends with each other, no grudges will be held and everyone will be having fun. And instead of sitting there and pouting after a loss, they will start to cheer for them. I really do think, if more and more people start to join this, teams will start to forget about past problems and look forward to the great things they can accomplish together.

108's current driver, ::raises hand:: Here!

I saw something about some teams liking or disliking other teams based on driving. How's everybody think of us in terms of driving?

I'd like to point out that I wasn't drving during the match we were given that name. Anyway, the union seems to be coming along nicely.

[Corey Balint]

Come on all you people that were at Battlecry, youve had time to rest by now...or not, but still. 6 states, 9 teams, 13 members, not bad at all. But over 13 more states, countless number of teams, and soo many people to cover still, so lets keep em coming. And if you have any suggestions for anything, just start posting.
