I know it's sad to have to say that perhaps a national sanctioning body might need to work with their tracks, but I think that a body like USAC, who has a larger budget for staff than your local tracks on the regular national schedule, might be able to help marketing in local markets. I know it is tough everywhere financially, but I'll tell you that when I lived in PA, you couldn't go very far without hearing on the radio or seeing even flyers about the Outlaws taking on the PA Posse at Williams Grove and that's even in a market where you don't even need to hype it. that track always was sold out at $25-30 in the mid-90's. Now, if we can get local Indiana tracks to perhaps get a little marketing push from USAC the few weeks leading up to a race, maybe the tracks can get some ad money to help push purses. Lap money always helps and tow money too. I know it may be a small surprise, but most tracks don't have people that have the time to track down sponsor money for races to support purses. Bloomington has always been awesome about having great "bonus" nights as well as Lawrenceburg. LPS has got Joe Spiker who has now got some advertising at the track now, but how awesome would it be if USAC had a PR Rep that would work with tracks in setting up advertising dollars to help the drivers make a living?!
