Kevin and Craig are right. Joe Roush has been trying to get the same point across for several years. Why are racers paying to put on a show? You also have some local tracks that are adding more costs every year under the guise of "better for the show". If it is so much better for the show why aren't the owners or promoters paying for these improvements??? Membership fees at local tracks, transponder fees, radio fees, entry fees. Where does it end?? They are hosing us just as the oil companies, because they can get away with it. We, racers, let them. While I agree that something needs to be done, I also think it will be extremely difficult to get car owners and drivers to stick together. People criticise Paragon (unfairly); there is tuff competition there, every body gets to run a feature and you don't leave with less than $100.00, no politcal B.S. no B.S. fees. Just by a pit pass and go racing. Yes it would be great to have a Tony Stewart budget then none of this would be a big deal. Last time I looked there are many more people in my budget range than T.S. Racing is still fantastic, but the greed is out of control.
