Glen,

I guess we can agree to disagree on my math. But if the bracket program is pulling in an est. $150,000 alone, add in Nationals, the LODRS Event, Street Legal nights, and all the road racing events....I'm still at a loss on how it can't be profitable.

I guess we just have to see if it is possible to get the 'magic' 33 S/SS cars to show up at BIR so we could race for a fair payout. Someone mentioned the Koppien's previously. This IS one of my points I've been trying to make. Where are the Class racer's from 4-6hrs away? They sure haven't been racing at BIR!

The 100% profit I am refering to Glen is charging for the pro pad parking. There is no payout involved, so there for it is straight profit. Now I realize the insurance, employees, maintenance, property taxes, etc. I GET all of that. However, that isn't the racer's issue in my opinion. The track itself needs to find backing in the form of advertising if that is the case.

I DO hope this works! And again I will do what I can to be at the events I can with either my Super Stocker or my Bracket car.
