The main tought process of this idea was originally based off the increased fee that d1 put on us 2 years ago. I think in D1 put 100% of the extra money back to us, (100% participation) the racer would have never complained about the extra fee (back then), could have increased the D1 car count (more $ paid out = more participation) and possibly made it almost feesable to run this type of racing.

But because D1 had to dip their hands into the pot PISSED alot of people off. INCLUDING MYSELF
