Well the scooter bros didn't change there payout one bit. Most of the companies reduced their payouts for class wins.
But a lot of "jealous" folks are happy that a bunch of other cars won't be coming home with a trophy and a few dollars.
Arrows in the back? Really?

Anyone will tell you, Art, I won't say anything behind your back, I'll say it to you.

Jealous? Really? We've got a couple of class Wally's, thanks.

I have a considerable amount of respect for you and your accomplishments. I actually like you, Art, but on this subject, I disagree with you, and I have zero tolerance for you talking down to the rest of us while you don't face what we do. Go out and build yourself another AA, A, or B car, Art, an older, traditional combination, and then come out and kill it, then maybe I'll give some measure of credibility to what you have to say about those of us who have to protect our combinations. Until then, I ain't buyin any of it, and I ain't takin the flack you want to toss around without speaking up.

However, you seem to want to talk down to guys like us, who have to race the new cars, and need to protect our combinations, telling us we're not racing, not having fun, and should show our hand. And then you go bragging about how far you can bomb your index, while admitting there is ONE other car in your class, in the whole country.

Well guess what, you don't face ANY of the new cars heads up. We, on the other hand, face MOST of them in the three classes we can run in Stock, and plenty of them in whatever classes we can run in Super Stock, with either car. Not only that, if we go out and get HP, we not only hurt ourselves, but also all of our friends who have the same combinations, and face the new cars heads up, just like we do.

So, yeah, I call it irony and hypocrisy, whether you like it or not. When you face good odds of losing an entire weekend to a heads up race you have no hope of winning, and you go out, run way under, and kill your combination anyway, then come back and talk down to the rest of us Art. But then, you only have ONE car in the nation to worry about heads up, according to you. So, I'm not seeing where you EVER face what we face.
