I wouldn't hire anybody but I would help almost everybody in USAC. First, I would add money to the purses. Based on the 2008 schedule that showed 10 SC events, 34 sprint shows, and 30 midget races I would add $20,000 to the SC purse and $10,000 to both the sprints and midgets. $800 per position in the SC and $400 in the sprints and midgets. Any leftover money to be split evenly among the first 4 non qualifiers from the Semi. Next I would institute a Per Race Point Fund. $10,000 for the SC - $500 each to the top twenty in points going into an event. $5000 for the sprints and midgets - $250 each to the top 20. Next would be a Winners Circle - money for the last ten different entrant feature winners. $1000 each in SC and $500 each in sprints and midgets. The season end point funds would be $100,000 per division spread out thusly (in thousands) - 1. 25 2. 15 3. 10 4. 8 5. 6 6. 5 7. 4 8. 3 9. 2.5 10. 1.5 11-20 1 each. I would award the Rookie of the year in each division $10,000. Any money not paid out due to cancelled events would be added to the season end point funds. This would go a long way to alleviating the problem of low payouts for the bottom feature finishers and give the money to the competitors when they need it - during the season.
