Two questions for you (especially you Super Dave)
1. Are you willing to spend $150 per class to race if we eliminate SuperBike or GP?
2. Are you willing to promise me you'll enter both classes that are left and that all the other riders will?
We won't start on the purses for every class until later...that will be another eye opener.
$150 per class? I ways, yes, I see value.
I'd like to see at least a reduced number of expert classes with a purse and an increased entry fee. Will everyone enter? No, but as it is, riders go away every two to three years, so the same philosophies of years and years and years of club racing have not changed what happens: riders move to expert, or are threatened with becoming experts, and then some move on.
Kevin, I like the new ASRA purse structure based on entries. It's a start, and it doesn't put you at so much risk. I'd like a sponsor, for real, for the program. Actually, I'd like class sponsors for each region. CMRA has put together small packages with "Pace American Trailer Middleweight Lunatic" or stuff like that. Those kind of sponsorships could be used to increase entries into classes that might not be receiving the entries that they could .
