Todd Hoven, you are right the economy is in a recession at this moment, one more reason to make sure that we do not lose what we have worked so hard to have. Pure Whatever you want to call it makes sense in allowing new blood to enter with the possibility to move up to stock&super stock and beyond or just stay where they can afford without losing their 401k(life saving). I've talked to many young people and the ones to go balls out in any series usually will last only until they go broke or realize the fortune they have lost in such short amount of times, on the other side I know of some racers who have race for over 50 years and are still doing it because they took their time doing it right, you can be a flash in the pan or you can be in for the long haul it just depends how much you care. I care and hope that the sport will continue, I've invested time and money so that others have a place to race safely, I've given money to my local track to help pay for the purse at times knowing this would help them survive, twenty five years later they're still in business so I know it must of helped. I know other racers who have put money from their own business to help class racers a place to race for a decent return, look at Gary Richards he is investing in racing because he cares that it survives,if he could invest that money in direct TV broadcasting in Manhattan for a 100% better return than he's getting from Division advertisement. All this to say is we have to bring in new blood for the future not for the right now.Claude Ruel
