I have felt obvious all along, that someone or a group of people are propping this thing up financially.
Stan, I think that you hit the nail on the head. This may be just one person's opinion, but last year someone who is among the most poweful in the sport said that he just wonders how long Flo will continue to dump money into the series, when it is only a small piece of their total business.

I think you also have to ask how many of these tracks are gonna keep scheduling Hi Limit if their not putting any asses in the seats.

That's a great question
unless tracks are getting Flo streaming money, I don't see how tracks can keep scheduling HL
There have been some shows with really good crowds c

I think there is a reason that almost one eighth of the HL schedule was at Port Royal. You just can't trying to force sprint cars where the are no sprint car fans.

I haven't seen a HL track contract, and neither have you, but I'd bet a fair amount of money that they're renting most if not all the mid-week tracks.
And you're all aware of SLS Promtions, what they do for the WoO, how long they've doing it, and some years how big a chunk of the schedule that is?
Someone explain to me what you think they're harming. They pay their bills. They're not Barry Braun or the NSL. I've watched Wheatland the last two nights for free on my phone while I did other things. They're a win as far as I'm concerned.

They had a better crowd last night and Saturday finales always get the best attendance. Their racing is as good as anybody out there. At this point I'm commenting on something I watched on television. Reminds me of my wife and her friends who text and call each other while they watch their reality shows. They argue about the characters and kind of reminds me of what a "night at the races" has become. We gather to bitch about races and sanctions but that means we're watching so it's all good.

For what it's worth, the Allstars race last night looked to have a much bigger crowd than High Limit did.
