Ok so we now know that there is one more part of local racing that does not make money. The track does not make any money-the racers do not make any money-the guys that tape the race do not make any money-the guy who does this web site does not make any money. So I'm a rich guy with money to burn. I'm looking to maybe but some money into sprint car racing. I read all the bad things about it--how un happy-no one gets along. I think I'll dump my money in some type of cool x-game-kids type of sport.

Ok I'll change this post a bit. Last Sat at Berlin. The group that runs the sprint races have it taped and shown on basic cable for free. A few weeks later--but still on tv for free. I being the rich guy with money to burn. Sees the races and thinks I need to get in on that pavement sprint car stuff. Oh a rich oil guy has money to burn and I can see winged dirt races on TV for free also. I'm sure all the guys that taped-worked on the shows for TV got paid to do it-right? Well it was really three sets of taping. Speed channel was doing a "where is he now" show on Johny Benson


One other point to make is there are two tapes of Jeff's bad crash Sat night. Should that be shown on replay? Its not live-you have time to not show it or to show it--what do you do? Berlin has a score board that has a big screen on it. Do you show the crash (also how the tracks safety team deals-or lack of dealing with the crash) over and over on the big screen?
