Money is ONE of the reasons I am not running. Obviously, I do not have any to spend for some one else to race my car. KO's schedule in the summer does not allow for too many runs. He is available this weekend and I am not in a position to drive. I think some may feel it would be neat if we can make it work to get a legend out on the track.

As far as "local" racing: No club in my area has done anything to accommodate someone in my position. Until I see some rule changes (by no way is this directed at just one sanctioning body), I am only focused on the "next race"...that is why I am very upset not to be running Tulsa. As far as my support: Campaigned a car/go-kart in 45 events last year...not counting multiple other practice type runs. I intend to attempt a similar schedule in 2010.

As I posted above though, I think it would be very good experience for my team to make the haul down there. You never know what relationships can build from that event. It is good to be involved in off-season races and stay up on things. We will see what happens...thanks.
