I would love to put 20k to race ANYTHING! But I know that probably will never be a dream come true. I don't tell you how much to invest in your car, nor do I set the purse structure. You choose to put money in and to race for set amount. I didn't write the rule, i enforce it. If ever I did get the opportunity to race and stuff got tore up, I would be upset at guy infront for fumbling restart, or guy behind for packing me. But probably not the flagman. Would I be upset? Yup, but I'd go back and do whatever was needed to race again. Understanding that I can't control what others do. I can only control myself. Accidents happen, its part of our sport. Normally in that circumstance it isn't intentional.
So I may never have as much "money" invested in a car. But I will invest
what I do have. A simple love for the sport. I support Bridgits daughter racing go karts and try to attend any race I can. If you think your measly purse is nothing, try standing in harm's way lap after lap for my measly purse....... I do it cause i love it. I am proud to do it. And I enjoy being a part of racing in any way i can.
And Charles, please don't think I am offended in any way. You asked a question and I did my best to answer it.
I've said it several times. WRP listens to the drivers and fans. We want everyone to have a good experience there. If you don't like the rule, approach the proper people and see if we can make it better.
