Why are they going to lower capacity?

If that's the case, WTC will simply raise the costs to the 1800 person capacity to offset the lose of income by lowering the capacity.

So the nex question is this: Do people want to pay $777 to race and be potentially draft legal, or pay $500 and race with it as is. From all accounts, people are upset that races are $500 now, I'm not sure how people would feel if it went to $777. $300 bucks isnt really all that much in terms of dollars, but when you put it into context, it's basically 50% added cost to the avg. cost now.

If you really want to make a change, you have to present a case to WTC, that will create a cleanier race, all the while keeping the gravy train for WTC's pockets. They aren't going to want to implement a plan that causes them to lose money. It's a BUSINESS, and it's all about the money. It's not about allowing people to race to see what how far they can push themselvs. If that were the case, simply go out on a Sat. and do 140.6 race by yourself.


This arguement kinda reminds me of the Playoff debate in college football. Everyone says that college football needs a playoff, so that it's fair for most teams and a true champion on the field is crowned. However, they forget about the finances of the decisions. Why the heck do you think the BCS was created by only 6 conferences in the 1st place. It's all about money, and university prez's arent going to drop that system simply for a system of unkown financically. So hence, why there is no easy answer to the college football playoff system. Yes, it makes sense to have a college playoff system, but it's all about the MONEY. Show the colleges how they can make more money, and a playoff will be implemented. Until than, it's just a pipe dream.
