When he first announced this it was stated that there would be a bit of a "membership fee" to any track that wanted to participate....if that has been eliminated thats great.

My biggest fear would be that Humpys company signs a deal with John Deere, and suddenly any member track can only use john Deere equipment to do track prep as they are now the "Official Heavy Equipment Supplier of Short Track Racing"...and if you refuse to get rid of your yellow grader you don't get squat out of the John Deere sponsorship package.

If this deal actually helps the tracks who are struggling to run in the black then I am all for it, regardless of how much of the money ends up in Humpys pocket. My fear is that it will be so riddled with conditions that most tracks will never see any benefit or have to jump through so many hoops it's worthless to them.
