And which series would you be referring to? The national tour? The dozen regional tours? The Sprint Bandits? Hmmmm. Let's see, they have a national corporate sponsor (O'Reilly), a huge list of competitors, and, well, doesn't he promote the hallowed Chili Bowl?

The National Tour? Yeah, let's see, competitors stuck with thousands of dollars in 360 motors because they bought into Hahn's BS that it would be minimal cost to a 410. Now they've got 360s that cost almost as much as 410s. Not to mention spec heads, spec gaskets, spec helmets, blah blah blah and where do you think all that money from Brodix goes? RIGHT INTO EMMETT HAHN'S POCKET. You think the USAC teams have it bad> try running a wing team on a national circuit for the same purses.
The regional series are worse. Guys who don't even run the spec heads, the gasket, incompetent tech guys, and the car counts are horrible.
The Sprint Bandits can't even get more than four races or more than 20 cars to their races. What is that point fund that O'Reilly pays? About 5 grand? Wow, whoopee.
Anyone could promote the Chili Bowl and get 200 cars. Any other promoter would probably raise the purse instead of raising the fees every year and pocketing more and more cash.
Do not kid yourself. Emmett Hahn is not the great savior, you all might think he is. He's just like USAC, in your eyes, only out for himself and to fill his pockets.
