And that means that with three teams as of now, Force pays it three times, Schumacher... (oh I can't count that high...). While I don't believe the whole system is fair, there's no favoritism in this case.

Maybe they do pay it also BUT there is no insurance charge at the points races or National opens when the Pro fuel junk is not in attendance. If the insurance is because of those cars.....let the pro junk pay their own way. They get all the big round and win money and the best places to pit. Yeah I know they bring in the spectators so raise the price of tickets for the spectators. They are the ones who watch that crap.
