As a demonstration of this imagine if Dale Mathers (please don't take offence Dale) did a deal with a spark plug company and made every competitor run that particular plug in HMC. It doesn't matter that the product is shit and not available in the required heat ranges but Dale owns the class and you will abide by the rules or else. And you will pay for them and no freebees, and carry large advertising stickers on your car while Dale collects the money from the plug company. So Dale (my apologies once again Dale) now owns the series and if you want to play with him you will have to pay for the privilege. And because he (Dale) can't come to a reasonable financial arrangement with a TV broadcaster then there will be no TV coverage of any kind at all so you sponsors will leave in their droves. Sound familiar?

Now Dale is not like that, or Bernie and Max, and runs a great class that is well supported and deserves all the plaudits it receives.
