Why the big slam bang on Tony for putting the money back into a point fund for the racers instead of sanction and other fees? Didn't we just have a post recently questioning the need for a santioning body for Indiana Sprint Week? Haven't there been other post's suggesting that someone try what Tony is willing to attempt? If the deal at Union County hadn't have happened, would you be bashing Tony for trying to help the racers out with a bigger pay-off for them instead of paying increasing sanctioning fee's? How many of you have made comments during the heat of the moment that you wish you hadn't made? I have nothing against any of the sanctioning groups, some of their events will be and probably always will be some of the best racing you could ever see, but very good racing is also very possible with the point fund format Tony is going to risk and try which will help keep the top teams coming to all the events and naming a point champion after all the events could be very appealing to some drivers and teams. Myself, no matter what the reason or what prompted this decision, I say thank you Tony for stepping up and trying to put more money in the competitors pockets, which is where it needs to go. For those of you that don't want to see someone try to return the funds and help the racers, bash away.
