The fact of the matter is TSS will pay somebody 5K this weekend for winning a race. If you attend races to see certain drivers compete I have no problem with that. You must then choose to see a WOO show or USAC event depending on your preference. However, if you choose to attend races for the pure joy of watching racing (regardless of who is in the pit area) then this weekend may indeed be the race of the year at TSS. It is no secret that a handful of drivers have an advantage whenever they show up at a race due to a variety of factors including budget, talent and experience. On a weekend such as this when the top 5 or 6 favorites are committed elsewhere, I think it not only adds to the excitement but sets the stage for the winner being any one of 15 or 20 cars instead of a select few. I suspect they will have a full feature at TSS in both classes this weekend and considering I can attend this live event for less than what it would cost to take my family to see a movie, coupled with the fact that I am also going to get to be around racing friends supporting the sport we love, this is the preverbial "no-brainer" (the wife claims "no-brainers" are my specialty though so probably not a big deal
).
