Now, here is my theory on the situation. My main obligation this year is to help to get a full field at BIR, and nothing else. I may go to Earlville, but thats it. I am not ready to travel all over the country to try to win a $1000 with the expenses that is incured while doing this. I would rather support a local track an be able to race there for the summer.
Now if the USA wants to support 3 or 4 tracks, its going to take 80-100 members. I don't see that happening. With 50 members, that is $2500 total payout which is enough for a little over one 2-day race or 2.5 one day races if there is no other money raised. To raise more money, they will have to get the advertizing going again, and with the economy I don't see that happening. In fact, I havent seen a Sportsman Times in 2 years!! If the USA wants to support BIR with extra cash, and we employ the "BOX" we could turn that program around and have a payout worth showing up for. This is my view on the subject, and its what I'm going to concentrate on. Tell me what you guys are thinking!!!
