While I appreciate the vote of confidence, I haven't been "on the inside" in many years. I'm just a racer. I do like to think that I approach things with some common sense, though.

I would hope that some of our more well funded class racers would buy what's left of the sportsman program. I think a sportsman only association would do just fine with the right leadership

We heard the same talk Re: Bruton and NHRA. What's there to buy? Classification guides and tech spec sheets, some fuel check equipment, and most importantly, from a marketing standpoint, a mailing list. Other than that, "Sportsman Racing" is a *concept*. What truly makes sportsman racing is the customers themselves.
