So maybe you need to promote the event then Bob? You seem to have a lot more at stake in it and apparently you have more connections than I would have that you are trying to defend on a message board for some reason??
If I had enough money to promote events Bob, I would put you in charge of developing a system which would make me money from photographers who develop their product for free and never pay any money to guys that deserve it, the drivers. Without them, you have no pictures, no calendars that you have for sale,,,,no hobby, and no free money.

Steve,
Maybe you should do just a tad bit of homework before spouting off.
I have NEVER and I repeat NEVER sold a picture of a driver or racecar. Not in that business. Not for sale. No calendars, nothing. No Free money as you say. Please check you facts next time. 100% incorrect. Period.
Apologies accepted.
Your attempt to try to turn around your post to try to make it seem as if people who take pictures of racecars is a bad thing {promoting sport} verses what was really your attack on that Terre Haute promoter and the MSCS series, was a failed feeble attempt at best.
I am sure that scheduling and promoting is much more involved than EITHER of us have any clue about. For you to say that this decision was a "convenient alternative" suggests that you must have some type of insight into the process. I am also certain that you are completely aware of all scheduling dates and potential conflict of dates that are available to the track and traveling series to use.
And yes I would have been there to help pay for your purse and tow money.
Have a good day and see you at the track!
