To put it plain and simple.. You won the powerball for lets say 75 mill after taxes?
Besides the usual, like the nice small cabin, 5 acre lake outside the front deck stock full of Bass, Bluegill, Crappie and BIG Cats, and taking care of the family, I honestly know in my heart that Sprint car racing in Indiana would change. If only for one year, but that year would be one for the ages!
I think about this from time to time, and my wife knows that I would not hesitate to do it. One of the ideas would to be to sponsor the KISS series. Each race pay $10,000 to win, $ 1,000 to start. And make it a Big KING of INDIANA. 3 weekends of racing. Start at Gas city, next night at Terre Haute, then Kokomo. The next weekend is Bloomington, Paragon, and Lincoln Park. The last weekend start at North Vernon on Thursday, Haubstadt, and the the finale on Saturday at Lawrenceburg paying $25,000 to win, $2,500 to start. ( Guess my bias shows a little there but oh well.) The points Champion receiving a $25,000 Champions check. Would also like to sponsor three or four of the MSCS races, paying $10,000 to win.
I would sponsor some kind of race at Lawrenceburg that, well would be bigger than the Mopar Million. A one time race. How bout a cool $500,000 to win, $20,000 to start? ( Bet that might get some attention!) Just to be involved in something like that brings chills to my spine! Best of all, all frequent posters on I.O.W. would recieve half price tickets. And maybe the best thing of all, Section "A" will be reseved for Fishburger the rest of the gang that frequents this area. ( And just for you Marv, the 50-50 girls will bring you fresh food and drink direct from Bob Evans during each nights festivities!).
These are most of the things that would take place. A couple of big Midget races would surely take place also.
Oh well, it's nice to dream.
