How was the show -- July 4 Weekend?  

It's a triple edged sword if there is such a thing. You have the racers on one side who want everything for themselves. You  have the fans on their side which want everything for themselves,  And you have the promoter on his side which wants everything for himself. They have tried to meet in the middle but there really is not a middle. I found just go to the races and hope they are good and have a well run show.

As for the big money teams win, it has been that way since race one! Somebody always has more money than the next guy. The big money teams have been around forever but really accelerated in the mid 70's
