Hope you dont get too much crap for saying that, but I believe many agree with what you are saying. Imagine a class like SVL or Cat outboard getting resources like this!!!

on that note they get a lot of expousure for thier sponsor, but it sure doesnt make the rates go down.!

Would I like to see more competition? Absolutely.
Sure, Haggin is a special case

my hope is that other potential sponsors will look at what they are doing and decide to bring it!

The theory being "A rising tide lifts all boats."
