here's a thought.
There was a story going around at the RunOffs that Club Racing made $880k
last year. Pro Racing lost all of that plus another $30k. That must mean our
solo registrations are funding part of Pro Racing. If this is true I suggest
we're just a step-child of the Pro Racers. Which would imply we're funding
'racer welfare' for Paul Gentillozi & Co.

Lawn Mower racing is sponsored AND paid for by StayBil Products. Get a
sponsor to fund the Pros for about $65,000 and you can be on TV. Same goes
for Ship Shape TV, Tractor Pulls, and other "fine" programming.
