I will have to assume that it is correct Mr. Miller quite possibly is compensated for his fundraising efforts. I have read this and heard this for the last 2 years since we got involved in midgets and sprints.
If this is truly why he is compensated the amount of money stated, it is proof to me that USAC is not being ran as a business that plans on being around for a long time to come.
Paying any employee based only on their "sales" is at a minimum wreckless and foolish. You can sell to your heart is content. If you don't turn a profit on the work you sell what good are the sales?
If his compensation had been structured based on overall performance, I would be willing to bet there would be alot more effort put in to running USAC as a business. This would start with taking care of your customers. That list is long as I believe their customers include owners, drivers, promoters, and the fans that make all of this possible.
