There is deffinatly a cost to that. Maybe they do, and I have to much of an old school mentality. I just wonder how much cost could be cut out of the program just by triming the fat. I just wonder at what point do dirt tracks start turning events down?
Besides purse, insurance is the largest fee for a USAC race.
Generally, sanction/officials fees barely cover expenses/pay for USAC to officiate the race. That was my biggest misconception in previous years - I truly can't believe that "exhoribitant fees" have ever been used as an excuse for not hosting USAC.
