I have been going to the salt since 1953. I have seen every kind of weather
in August, September & October.I am not sure who you are telling to lighten
up but until you have put in the hard and long days we do I think the remark
is uncalled for.
The world finals has never made a profit, we have gone in the red everytime.
We still do it for the racer because the need is there.
