I hear everyone's concern.
It has been brought up before as who is putting a meet together, who has a good idea on doing what and where, what will we be doing for any up coming shows or races AND where are we going with the next step as a crew.
YES, I decided to sit down with Matt and Chuck because yes they agree ... they are not leadership material.
I decided instead of forcing leadership on you, I decided to put on a poll. Think of it as a mutual respect to let you, the members and crew of Houston, feel as if you made a difference in deciding who will help become the main organizer for the crew. In NO WAY will the person who is the leader force anything down your throats or make you pay for something you don't want to do.
I, YES I, wanted to take the reigns from Matt and Chuck and steer us in a direction that will benefit all of us of the Houston FF Crew and bring together a sense of a team. We are not fully official and yes I have been opposed the TeamFocalize in the past.
But, after seeing some of the crews around me and seeing Austin's crew, I thought it would be great to unite the Houston Crew as one team both from FF and FJ.
Myself and Paul at the beginning have talked about seeing a nice large crew come out of Houston and now that we have such a great large member base, I felt it was time to unite us under one name, one banner and one goal ... to put all FORD drivers together with no hatred, no bashing (except for on Chuck [
]) and no boundaries that will make you guys not want to be apart of a team.
I have been apart of many teams and yes I have been there where I felt like the team was very biased and very picky of their members.
YOU GUYS KNOW ME ... I am not one to segregate the crew or separate us because one member doesn't want to race, one member doesn't want to show or one member doesn't have enough invested in his/her ride. I love pulling people together and showing others that there is a team that can unite, enjoy and give everyone a chance to shine in their own right and have the support of a team.
That's my goal with us and I would love all of your support to move forward with this.
NOW, I decided to let the name TeamFocalize stand because it has already been established in the Import Show scene ... so why not run with it and make it better and stronger.
I wanted to have the team up for 2 groups ... One team that Shows and One team that Goes ... There are few of you that do both and that's great. Myself at the moment I will be on the Goes Team.
More ...
