Martin Hemi shootout

I am sure that this year there will be plenty of cars, just like in years past. But what many fans dont realize is that to enter indy, we spend around 10k going to points meets to get grade points so we can run for 10k. The races like Martin, the dutch, vegas, and norwalk are races that we just show up for, run it all in one day, and go home. I personally am over indy, and if it wasnt for the MP 10K I wouldnt go to the circus. The smaller events are twice as much fun, and less stress to attend. Whether or not MP backs the series is irrellevant to me, someone else will always have a place to race. The dutch is going to be a big event as always, and the norwalk race will probably have 10K or more to run for. The people who own these cars, and spend all the money, are not going to let this go away. I personally am not relying on a company that screws its dealer network to supply me with a place to race. I am not kissing their *** to get what in the scheme of things is chump change, they should be kissing ours for keeping a 40 year old product in the limelight.
