Charles, in your opinion, can tracks afford to pay the to-win purse you speak about?

The only way to get more competitive local teams to run USAC races is for the leadership to stop playing favorites and letting the USAC boys dope tires and run TC...

If it's multi day with good crowds. The profit from night one and two can offset a little loss on the finale. However I was talking about adding some REAL streaming money Speedshift split it down the middle. Flo won't pay third place at a reg show.

I still think finding a way to get on linear TV once in a while wouldn't be a bad idea...if it's good enough for High Limit (some think it's the greatest sprint car league in the history of sprint car leagues...I'd say the verdict is still out...), I'd certainly think it would not be a waste of an effort. Obvsly there would be a lot of strings to pull / checks to sign /etc; but if you want to attract NEW people, and not just those who already subscribe to FLO (how many do? I'd LOVE to see that #...I guess 714,000 watched the shootout, I'm waiting to see how many saw the Chili bowl), something people can come across on an old fashion standard TV channel could help (as would, of course, all the other forums, like chili bowl was on Amazon last week; but I guess every known social media to ever come along...has to be exhausting to keep up...and just cuz people look at a video for 30sec would their attn spans ever be enough to go anywhere and buy a ticket???). Seems OTA Fox fell in love with Indycar and the 2nd tier nascar series did well on CW - both available via antennae but also via about every cable/dish package.
