Not that I want people to think that I'm feeling sorry for them BUT, take a look at the Pro purses vs. the monies spent if you want to talk about "purse structures".

OBTW, while we're talking about the ridiculous purses let us remember, we're ALL running for the same amount of money. I think that for the time being, I'll just keep playing with my "junk".

The pro racers get multi million dollar sponsorships.


I find it amusing that anyone thinks that because some racers have a nicer rig, it's okay to keep the purse low.


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.
