The problem, at least for racers, is that many promoters use the racer as the revenue stream, instead of using them to draw the crowd and use the grandstand as the revenue stream. It's hard for me to justify continuing to race when I feel like I would get more respect and satisfaction from playing beer league hockey. I would sure have a lot more spending money.

On another note, any time I have raced a WoO show, the officials made me feel somewhat appreciated. Not true at many other places.
