Yes Reb, back in the day if travel was an issue, I requested a double points show.
In return, we offered a stronger purse, plus fuel certificates, sponsored by a local fuel station (and other sponsored perks like food & beer) for every team that entered. That made the 'travel' issue a lot easier to swallow for race teams.
Nick, I tried to help some SoTex tracks, but they didn't want to listen so I retired. Now I'm a fulltime beach bum with a website who terrorizes the tourists on an electric fat bike.
Life's a beach now!
