Kevin, with all due respect, how many so called pro sportsman racers do you think are out there. There are close 4000 sportsman racers competing on a national level this year. What would you say is the percentage of so called pro sportsman. I would say is less then a 1/2 percent, and I am being generous. How could anyone possible think that such few could be hurting our sport. And even if it was half of the racers competing, does it really matter? Everyone that races can hit there local track to stay sharp, they don't have to travel to be good.

They are racers just like all of us, there good at what they do, and it makes us better drivers. Hurt our sport, on the contrary, it brings it to the highest level possible.
