So, I sit here at Cummins Racing Engines daily, just dreaming up sometime ridiculous, sometimes clever, and sometimes just off the wall ideas. But lately one keeps coming back to me, and I just thought I'd share here in between part changes. So pretty much everyone knows I hope to get back in the seat and be a factor among the sprint car world again, but along with that I've got this urge to help rebuild the sport and find new avenues to do so.

This idea that I can't get out of my head all started a month or two ago after attending the AMA Supercross event at Lucas Oil. I mean those guys don't mess around when it comes to putting on a show for the fans. Whether it be the high flying moto action, drivers coming out from all over the building during intros, full scale pyro mania, good looking Monster/Jagermeister girls in every corner... I mean it's so much more than just the race itself. Similar to pro wrestling in a lot of ways as far as showmanship goes, however the actual competition is 100% real and unscripted.

So now I've got it in my head that I want to try and put on a show like this within our sport, I know the scheduling would be a nightmare, the head aches of all the different bases that would have to be covered would be killer. But think about it, our cars have the largest power to weight ratio out there, the racing is for the most part always exciting, just think if there was something to draw people in, and keep them entertained during the down times, rather than just another trip to the concession stand or restroom.

I already have a when, where, and a date I'd like to give it a shot.. however putting all the ducks in a line would be something I'm completely unfamiliar with.. .. .. ..

Thoughts?
