First off I want give props to everyone who has some type of an opinion on this subject, good or bad. This article is to let the racers (owners, drivers, sponsors, FANS, etc.) know what is going on with our sport. Besides all the costs of racing, which we are very aware of going into the season. We all have to deal with some politics to go with it. When Matt Caulkins (THE PRESS ENTERPRISE FEB.28 2008 sports section) called and asked what the situation was with the USAC/CRA point fund I told him what I would tell anyone who asked, including USAC, no lies, no BS. When Kevin Miller came into office as ceo/president to change the finances of USAC about 5 people got fired. Weather that was good or bad business that’s no for us to decide. Him taking the point funds away from ALL USAC divisions EXCEPT national sprints is ALL of our business. That pretty much changed the attitudes of alot of people about how USAC/ Kevin Miller started his term as president. If you thought you had dead weight in your office fine, but coming after the people who support the tracks we race at every weekend and bring as many people as possible to keep this sport alive, THATS CRAZY! Not only did it effect the low buck teams but I heard the big buck teams was not to happy either. This sport has it's loyal following for years and it's all of our responsibility's to get people to our races to support our organizations and tracks. I think we all are doing our jobs at the best of our ability. Not including all the blood, sweat, and yes tears and dedication we all pour into this sport including our families and fans sitting through long dusty nights, and also BAD ASS wheel to wheel great nights. Bottom line is that we want this to grow just as the new president of USAC does. But maybe you (Kevin Miller) should have made it good for the 2007 season and then POST your cut backs before the 2008 season started. For myself I received an empty promise the start of 2007 season and that is bad for the sport and I still don't see any posts on what these guys are running for this year, maybe even less. Maybe all the people Kevin got rid of, all the people who got shorted will get WHAT WE DESERVE, NOTHING MORE, NOTING LESS. Once again THANK YOU for all those who are keeping this sport alive. And for the people who say this should be swept under the rug or not be in the publics eye LIVE OUR LIVES FOR JUST ONE SEASON AND GET SLAPPED IN THE FACE LIKE MANY TEAMS DID, AND THEN OPEN YOUR MOUTH! We all need to step up. Yes we do need an organization to keep control but not grab us by the throat at any time, change rules, or cut purses 3/4 in the season. I don't do computers except to check on all my hero's when I'm not racing but I would like it if someone wanted to disagree with anything I say, I will try to answer you. This post is my own opinions and thoughts. I don't want to hear about any misspelled words, grammar, or punctuations, this isn't grammar school this is the real world and let’s keep the subject at hand.
