A subject for discussion on a winter's day.

Getting back to the subject at hand. Splitting the pro show and the sportsman is somewhat too vague to answer if it is good or not and good for whom. Lots of questions arise from the split. At the national event, if splitting did happen,
1. Does the entry fee the sportsman pay go only to the sportsman payout?
2. Does the sportsman have a say on track prep ( we know the pro's like a different prep).
3. How does the run schedule change, Who gets first priority?
4. Does tech change?
5. Does contingency change? and if so how?
6. Does the sportsman get any TV coverage?
7. Who does the race director now report to? and how is a conflict handled.
8. Does the pro TV show get the sportsman bumped from Sunday eliminations and filled with entertainment of a different kind?

These are just some random thoughts and I have no answers whether it would be good to split or not. I guess the big question becomes, If the split does occur "what is in it for me" needs to be answered from both the pro side and the sportsman side.
