I heard that Herbst Racing is dropping the Shoemaker in-car camera (for nex yr, I believe). If so, that's not a good sign, since that means less revenue for Shoemaker. As has been pointed out before, the sport has a component of a few wealthy entrepeneurs (Herbst, Baldwin, et al)...they are good for the sport. They inject $$ into the industry. Without them, I would cringe at the thought of what offroad racing would be.
I did a quick survey a few weeks back. Is it true that the economy is really impacting many of the offroad racing fab shops, racers, etc? I just heard that Excite!.com just went down in stock by 46%, & they are in serious trouble. Don't they sponsor a pro-truck? This ain't good news.
Did I hear (hopefully a rumor) that Chenowth is getting out of racing?
