Amazing that some people here want racing gone-now using subsidies as an excuse to get rid of smaller tracks. Pretty much all of agriculture -of which racing is a part of-- is subsidized. Agriculture is heavily subsidized in every country. Farmers and their equivalent have a special place in national traditions and are seen as necessary for self-sufficiency in time of war or famine. In fact, the greatest blockade to the elimination of all tariffs worldwide is the fighting over agricultural subsidies (prop up your guys) and tariffs (block external competition).Last year agriculture was subsidized to the tune of 20 BILLION!--and on this forum-a few want these smaller tracks to close over a few THOUSAND$$. These smaller tracks are entertainment for people and do provide a source of income and jobs . Im thankful they are there--went there as a kid and have happy memories-and hope they are here to stay.
