I am excited about this class too and was really hoping that it would catch on and have more participants and more racing orgs would pick up this class too. The thing I was really hoping for from the Florida race was the format of the higher entry fees and higher payout . And thought if it would work here it would also catch on in the higher classes too. I have driven around this country racing for years to allot of the races that wouldn't even cover the cost of fuel to get there . Yeah I do it for the fun but it would be nice if you did win you could at least recoup your traveling money. I was hoping as more racers got involved the sport would take off.
With the higher pay outs I think it would attract more racers and sponsors and spectators. I used to fish in the pro circuit back in the 90's the entry fees for that at that time were 750.00 per tournament. You could win 50,000.00 for first place. Now that has taken off and more sponsors got involved and they are fishing for 150,000.00 per tournament. I don't think you will ever see anything like that in this sport but it is just an example of where things can go.
I am looking forward to the Florida race again and am looking to be a lot more competitive then last year. At least I should have a few things sorted out on the truck before I get there this coming year.
