I think RGM for the start and parks should bring 2 cars, the 7 will be the backup and do nothing with it except have Wimmer, Bliss or whoever run the qual lap and lap 1 of the race and then park it. Let Robby take the 77 car entry and have it dialed in only for qualifying so RGM can have 2 cars in the show for snp, make double the cash and maybe knock out the 71 or 38.

I doubt you'll see two cars except at Watkins Glen. I'd love to see RG try 2 cars at Indy...last place pays around $134,000
Be well worth having the 7 & 77 at Indy.

two snp's is just dirty...remember the 55 and 66 of last year ..Bringing two just to park just says I'm here for the money f -the racing stuff thing .Screwing teams ready to go the distance with sponsorship is not an admiral thing. I believe the 66 and 55 had no intentions of running full races last year. Parking a locked in car is a survival tactic and such A real sportsman would find a way to run at least a few full races hence the reason they are locked in. Is a race team that never races ,a race team at all?

Team's like the 55 and 66 aren't going to find sponsorship by sitting at the shop not going to the races. If they go to every race and qualify well every week they are showing that they have potential if they did have sponsorship. Every team that shows up wants to contend and run the full race. It's just that the smaller teams don't have the money to do that.

Yes.Racing is a business.A successful business makes a profit with a well thought out business plan.
You might not like the plan, but the plan employ's people that work on race cars.Economic's 101.
Not many multi millionaire's around willing to take a loss on their investment.Not even the Germain's (billionaires) piss their money away to run complete races.

I mentioned the former PMS team prizim motor sports cuz the topic was about snp two cars. Last year they bumped a few full race rides only to park. And as for employing people I think I remember the booth saying a few times that cars were black flaged for no CC or pit crew Im not knocking the snp teams doing what they need to do in order to get where they're going I just don't see the sportsmanship in a two car snp effort. More power to them for making the show.

Fair enough Brewski,how sportsman like is it to never mention all participant's in a event by the booth or show them on the screen?! Until Na$crap revises their purse and exposure policies,business is buziness.
Just a thought on teams that plan complete races and get out Q'd by a S&P team/s, how much would they really add to "the show"?
