I'm in 100% agreement that entry fees with no payout are completely ludicrous, and hurting the sport. I support Kevin Briscoe.
I have read a lot of posts from fans who say that USAC puts on great racing. To those who believe this, I will respond with one thing to think about: Fans don't come to the track to see USAC officials walk around. Fans pay admission to see the competition ON THE TRACK. It's the competition -- owners and drivers who are putting on the show, not the officials who are administering the event, that puts fans in the stand.
Owners and drivers can make choices about where they race. Don't ever forget that.
Let's see how the Pennsylvania swing fares this June when local stars and owners find out they have to pay additional entry fees and license fees to run a USAC race. Should be interesting.
