I hate the direction racing is heading
I have friends that double enter the big money races , one who has Won several 10,20 etc. grand races told me how much he spends on entry fees and double entrees and I couldn't believe it , but then again he Wins a lot. To rich for my blood and I don't have the confidence in my driving on a full tree. 5/10ths pro tree is different I still won't enter a big money race with that tree if there are any but I was in two finals last fall and did a split both times one 50/50 the other 60/40 IMO the amount in a split is usually more than the r/u money is , with the split including winner and runner up money combined for the total for the split. Actually my opponent in the 60/40 split told me he usually doesn't split but since I know him ( he owns a tree service company and he has done work for me a few times ) he agreed to the split . It was a good race I was 006 on the tree ( foot braking ) , he was 009 ( trans braking ) .. he was 2 over , I was 3 over for a 0050 MOV my mistake for lifting I would have ran dead on .
