It seems to me that people think things just "happen". Like costs of racing and decreases in purses just "happened", like they're an act of God and there's nothing anyone can do about it. People are responsible for the direction that everything goes. Racing has always been about a man's ego and they will spend almost anything to beat the next guy, regardless of the purse. Why do you think people are spending $30,000 on a motor alone to win $4,000 or less?

Don, unfortunately there are too many people with more money than you who choose to spend it on a race team. If you believe there are enough owners out there who are tired of spending money, then your efforts would be better focused trying to organize this group of owners and promoting yourselves to area tracks instead of posting on a message board that clearly doesn't want to be part of anything you have to say, regardless of its validity.
