You guys kill me. It's time to come up from the basement, take your hands out of your pants, turn the lights on and join the real world. Not one of you has a dime invested but all talk like you have the answers. Your "FANTASY" is bull. Most of these tracks do not want us. Why.... ? Because we don't draw fans. We lost most of the old tracks before the new gen cars came about. Roger Johnson put a great deal of effort in a Silver Crown promotion and got about 200 paid at Memphis. Phoenix and Millwaukee were on and off before the new gen cars. Gateway and on and on.
This isn't monopoly money you "POSERS" (posters) are talking about....It's real cash that hard working owners are spending on any of these cars.
Before somebody jumps on the PRA thing I will address that. If USAC with 52 years of experience couldn't make the old cars work how could someone else? Low car counts, high travel expense, high tire bills and low purses doesn't make for easy success. I admire them for trying but it was an uphill battle to say the least.
I look forward to our meeting on Monday maybe some positive light will be shed.
I for one of a few put my money where my mouth is. I have one Beast pavement Silver Crown car with 7 races on it and two Riley New Generation Silver Crown cars.
Kevin Miller and Jason Smith are bright men I am confident that we will go forward.
I am not afraid to sign my name.
