Here is something to think about.... How many of those races are you paying to get into? How many races do you pay to see in a season? How many "media" members will be at IMW on a free credential yet make a profit? How many photographers ask permission to take photos of the cars that they sell for profit? Where are our royalties from the sales? Why do I have to pay to sell my merchandise when they get in for free? Etc etc...

Best comment I have read in a while....
I can't make it to most of imw due to my work schedule. I'm going to try to watch any feed I can find rather it be periscope, a tracks feed, or a USAC feed. If they want to charge for a good feed I'll pay for it. If they think people will stay home they are crazy. I sure would think getting an extra 20-30 dollars for everyone in the country that can't make it to the races would be better than nothing at all... Maybe I'm wrong.
