Q. You mentioned Sportsman’s participation. Is the increased media coverage also going to cover more of the Sportsman races?

PETER CLIFFORD: There’s no plan on changing the coverage on the Sportsman races as far as from an hours standpoint. What we’re talking about with the Sportsman, increased Sportsman participation, is to ease up the requirements in order to participate at a Sportsman level. Our division directors, we’ve been meeting with them on a regular basis, and we have a plan in place in order to ease that up to increase participation going forward, so we’re going to make it easier for the Sportsmen to come race with us, and we have some really exciting announcements about that in the next couple weeks.

I hope they don't "ease up the requirements" for us too much more and I hope he doesn't have any more "really exciting announcements". This is more excitement than I can afford.
