It does beg the question about how much money the patron car-owners are ploughing into the sport for very little (no?) return in terms of prizemoney or appearance fees....
The plan to build a structured franchise system with a series overlord in a similar dimension to VESA made a lot of sense... but it seems the patron car-owners couldnt take the leap of faith to improve their lot as a group...
The costs to run these cars is enormous... thousands of dollars on engine rebuilds, fuel, tyres, maintenance, repack the chute etc etc after every single run... its certainly not a poor man's sport....
