The idea to eliminate the 170 pound driver weight wouldn't be fair. You have Larry Hill who is a very tall man, and might be a tad over 170. Conversely,
you may have a jockey sized person who may be 120. The driver weight
rule as written is equitable. On increased purses, raise the quotas, the money is sitting there, begging to be taken. On additional fees to raise the
purse, for National events, see above, for points meets, which we all run
more of than national events, an additional 100.00 that is optional, you pay
the extra 100.00, you can win more money, you don't pay, you get the posted payout. Additionally, weigh the extra money a little more towards the semi-finalists and runner-up, with extra money for the winner, just not as weighted to the winner as in the past. They get a little extra contingency.
