There is nothing wrong with someone making money. And I'm quite certain that USAC is not making money hand over fist like some of you people think. Especially when they're promoting races on their own now, taking the chances that all those other tracks are taking. I'm all for seeing the drivers and teams get some return, and that has actually improved over the last few years. No one has said anything about the raise (albeit small) in purses this year in USAC. And that doesn't even include the $10,000 to win races that have been added this year....
I really wish we could get out of a mindset from 10-20 years ago or more. This is 2009. As much as the pavement side of things is in the tank, I can't believe that you could ever find better racing than we have on dirt right now.
