**** the crying, this is awesome.
They don't just drop in a spot anyway, there are a couple celeb spots, always have been, and if you want in you bring star power, money, or both. There is a King Of Hearts spot for a sponsor with 10 grand in ad money and more to run it. For the most part, its like a 90% qualify race. Great, keeps it open. We can use the publicity.

My whole point is, I just don't want to see this race over and done with before it has had a chance for other less funded people to run it. Nothing more, no bad publicity bullshit. Just leaves out the "run what you brung and hope you brought enough" guy. example; Look at Big Money MattO- He's fawkin loaded, I mean fur lined sinks, electric dog polishers, everything. (just kiddin) but, he doesn't have the Shannon kind of sponsorship to keep up with his team. Unless these bible belters get off their asses and pass us a Lottery, I won't be participating either. By the way OBama, my check hasn't arrived yet... :flipoff1:

Like I said, just my .002

Owing your own shop that turns out rigs like a CE, Jimmy's, Twisted, etc helps for sure, outside of that it is money and sponsors, but most don't have great sponsors, save a few like Shannon. It cost me a lot of money just to tear mine down and prep/maintain it for the race, I can't imagine how people build new rigs each year and still have time to test.

I hope it stays where the rocks are a factor, because a car like DSI's is pefect if it does. Is tuned and will run fast, but still works in the rocks and is capable of good trail riding. I really wish he didn't have a celeb driver, because he could really have a good showing on his own. I like the series concept, but doubt many have the $ to run it from this coast. All I am saying is it will be interesting to see if making $ becomes the driver for this race...

Nothing is cool unless it is in Cali and flat billers are present :****:

I wish we would have a series around here because KOH type racing is FUN. And Rausch Creek is not exactly around here...

Another thing is just think about telling people you raced in a race with these guys who are on TV and some of the best out there. It will be even better when you beat them. I think this is Awesome and hope to see a few more.

I got drunk and played golf with John Daly at his house in Arkansass. Hell, he's already almost there. Couple of six packs and a big fatty and he'll run his Humma golf cart. :driving:
