OK Reality check time. In motorsports there are very few arenas for true,
full-time, "professional",
earn-enough-to-pay-the-bills-buy-a-house-and-send-the-kids-to-college
drivers. Why? Money of course. Sponsor money. Big Big sponsor money. How do
you get sponsor money? TV. Lots of TV. How do you get Lots of TV? Lots and
lots of Fans.
Now answer this one question and you will KNOW why Solo II will never truly
support "Professional" drivers. When was the last time a non-participant
paid money to see a Solo II event?
I think its great that you love this sport so much that you want to make it
your vocation as well as your avocation. But it ain't gonna happen. "If
wishes were horses, beggars would ride"
