I saw that too and it's one of the reasons I started this thread, just to see what others are thinking/doing. He has a valid argument for not showing up, but being on the other end of the Midget Economics Spectrum I can't operate using the same logic. For me, it makes much more sense to go, because if no one shows up that's a sure way to kill the series before it even gets started. I think it's premature to restructure the purse after only one show and my focus is still going to be on Montpelier but I want to take at least one shot at supporting the only other regular Midget show around while I can. If enough teams take the same approach the purse will take care of itself. Anyone who saw me run at Montpelier knows I don't have a prayer of taking home much of Mel's money but I can add to the car count and maybe there'll be more for all of us to split up.
