Would it be possible for you drivers that want to join with another people add there CD screen name. It would be helpful because i can pm you or some other driver can talk. Thanks you

P.S. keep the drivers coming this is great and this is what we want from the FIRST Drivers Union

Just to let all teams know, it can be anyone on the drive team, that way we can still meet one of you guys/gals and know your team better.

count me in

So will there be a website/ forum or something for this union?

Yes, there will be a website/forum for this union, we are still deciding over stuff. :slight_smile:

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.

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.

I know I am not east coast but I was a driver for 696 for the past 3 years so if you want me, I’m in.

Well, mainly we want to keep it on the east coast so we will be able to meet at regionals and all, and it would be easy for us to talk at the right hours.

But, if you plan on coming to eastern regionals next year, then im sure we can make a spot for you. If not then that kind of sux. We will let you come in and talk during our little meetings online though, always cool to have some friendly people in there.

Better yet, we could make a west coast union too. then we could help people start ones for the south, central, north and all. Then we could start a national union that we all meet at the National event obviously…just an idea.

Aignam, just brought a pretty good idea to me. We could possibly go out and get a corporate sponsorship for the union, and at the end of the year, the “best” driver is voted upon by the union, or a certain part. then a scholarship, from the corp sponsor, is given to the highest vote getter. or we could do some long equation to find out who the best one was over the year, depending on the game.

thoughts/ideas?

Better yet an outside panel. Keeping the voting within the ECDU raises all sorts of eyebrows.

thats definitely a better idea. anyone have ideas of who we could have vote for it?

Vote on the panel—obviously, if the company donating the money wanted to have a representative, they would be encouraged and more than welcomed. Otherwise, neutral FIRST Volunteers, experienced mentors, etc, etc. These people are wiser and less prone to play favorites, in most cases.

There are some teams still out there that have not put there drivers in this union. This union should be a great thing for the freshman out there that want to driver or that are new at the stick like myself. by new driver i mean have only drove in one or two comps. hopefully we can learn a thing or two from the good drivers of FIRST.
