Were it a financially viable, we would have had perpetual US Class Nationals. Alex did a wonderful service to the best of his ability and by his own public admission....didnt pocket tons of cash. No it wasnt perfect, and yes the second year I am sure he would have done some things differently. Overall it was a remarkable success.

I didnt see any other philanthropist pick up the financial ball like Alex. There are tons of guys out there with more financial resources than Alex, where are they? If Alex would have made a ton of money it would have continued and the pundits told to go *&)* themselves. This is the way of capitalism as we know socialism doesnt work! No matter how successful, there is always a pundit willing to evicerate you.

Until innovation or concerted marketing in our sport occurs, we have what currently exists. I personally believe we should market ourselves, and do heads up racing ourselves. Who else is going to do it if we dont?
