Haven’t posted in awhile. Probably mostly do to disappointment more then lack of content. Facebook continues to give our posts no reach unless we pay for it, and we are just not getting the support on posts to help it travel very far. LIKES do nothing for the algorithm, they do not help the post spread any.
Our mission was to start a grassroots movement to see if there was enough demand for something like this and could pursued investors to front some cash. Well we didn’t get enough believers in the time allotted and the investors left the chat.
I really felt strongly about this and after many conversations, thought a lot of people would also. Seemed like we were doing well, over 350,000 views, but then for some reason we could only accumulate 814 followers. A lot of people just said “it’s cool, but nah I don’t want to support it”, or “sounds like a cool retirement home”. Even some of the brands you all love to spend your money with told us they were not interested in paying tribute to the culture that made them successful. The goal was to do something that was not controlled by a massive corporation like everything automotive today is. To build something for the car culture, built by car culture. Not to sell you some over priced part to give you instant gratification, but to offer a place that gave long term gratification and a place to call home. I never asked for your money or you to buy something, only to support the vision if you believed in it, and to help spread the word, so we can make this happen.
Where HRT goes from here, no idea. Guess back on the shelf for now. I’ll never stop dreaming of it, and never stop believing in this community and how we could have had a place we could finally call home. I’ll probably work silently on it in the background, But at this time I feel like I’m just spinning my wheels.
Thank you all to those who believed in the vision. Been with us since day one. After a year of trying to make content and figure out how to get people interested, I’m gonna take a break for awhile. Have to find the motivation and the funds to try to get back into the fight.
Big corp = 1
HRT = 0
