Then on the following weekend, propose a Stafford, Thompson, Waterford round trip...This goes on until you have a New Hampshire trip, a New York trip with Spencer, Lancaster, Holland or Chemung to save the teams on hotel expenses while going back to the old school ways of unloading the cars in the Holiday Inn parking lots and working on them while potential fans drive by.
Again, the idea takes money. I'd say you'd have to work in concert with Troyer, CD, Raceworks and Spafco so everyone who builds and runs the cars are all on the same program for the betterment of the division as a whole.
Who wins? The fans. If the fans support it, then there's no doubt the money would come and the purses would increase. Same could be said for the product sponsors that are in the cars.
But the drivers and car owners have to stand up for themselves and make it work. You just can't have 12 cars show up at Spencer and rely on the Leaty's, Fidanza's, Hebings and Brittains to carry you through a weekend.
The fans are going to be paying to see Jan, Sege, Pete and those guys race with Teddy or Donny or whoever else supports the tour.
