And I guess the first race would be the most expensive. Almost cheaper by the dozen. If you can't do the season, don't start.
I can't fathom the money. Park a half million dollar car that isn't gonna be worth stink in a year. You'd think he'd put someone in the thing just for what little prize money they could pick up. That would pay the crew and the transport, tires and whatnot.
I remember back in about '79 when a couple of cars showed up at Long Beach on open trailers behind a pickup. No name back markers like Dominic Dobson or worse. Looks like we might see those days again. Where's Dick Simon when you need him? LOL
BTW, if they could convince Mario and Danny to get back in the cars, they would sell out the gate.
