I don't know how many of you know this, but we do pay a renting fee for pitting in the back room, it's not like Mark and John picked a select few to pit in the back. As a matter of fact, everyone back there is at the track at least twice a week.
As for helping people out.....Ask the newer guys if we've helped them or not, it's just that veteran rc racers are less receptive and accepting of other racers' setup skills....As Mark would say, "you can't babysit everyone"
