And just because a racer loves to race, isn't a reason not to work for the racers to give them the opportunity for a bigger purse.

I understand that, I was just making a statement.
I certainly hope that you're not referring to me.
I don't believe that ANY Racer "loves to race" more than me. And having supported my racing by racing for a long time, I find today's purses personally insulting.
If I have insulted ANY Racer with my written thoughts, I apologize. HOWEVER, I will continue to race my junk for as long as I enjoy the challenge of it and the people that I meet.
Just one more thing, I have always considered my racing as a business. Now, I'm not a Biondo or Fletcher but I've done OK and it's not good "business" to spend dollars to make pennies.
