Sportsman being a diverse agenda driven group, seem to have no clout. If, as some believe, and I do, a few (the Board) are lining their pockets, it would seem to me that the PRO group (TF/FC/PRO STOCK) would be demanding and getting bigger purses; PRO being smaller and more single agenda driven (purses) group don't seem to be able to modify the Board's behavior/greed/salaries/perks/bonuses

PRO has a lot of power in a boycott threat just before an event to "muscle" more $ out of Glendora then we will ever have, and they "seem" to be content with the relative chump change they are playing for. I'm guessing the Pro's feel Compton-Light bring enough to the table to justify their renumeration....I sure can't see it from my little hole in the sport

Just for yucks, cut Glendora about a million, put it into purses: for argument sake, divide a million by 12 classes (assuming each gets 1/12th of the pork), then divide by National Events, and/or 40 some LODRS events and you get what....car wash money?

If I had the power, I'd say take any excess money and pave the muddy pits and improve track prep....in this economy, the only way I see purses increasing is taking a page from World Series of Poker, or High Dollar Bracket Racing and pool entry fees with a neutral entity and increase our own purses...I certainly don't race for money, but many do, and it seems there are large discretionary dollars floating around in the pits with $200,000 SS./AH and $100,000+ GT jelly bean cars, and million dollar tow rigs, that another $500 each at certain events per entry, for a shot at bigger bucks is doable....for those that want that.

just saying..
