[QUOTE="PSJBrock, post: 112538, member: 1050"] That article is good but I dont think they have a clue about what is going on in the west coast. WORCS is in some serious trouble.. I went to the second to last round of the worcs series. There where 9 pros on the line 6 on Kawi, Weigant on a JCR Honda(not factory) and two on KTMS(both of which were support rides). Of the nine Pros 4 were Factory Kawi, Abbott,Garrison,Soule and Roberts. Robby bell was on a THR Kawi which I believe has some support from kawi. The other 4 Kawi's were local guys that bought the Kawis due to contingency. So point is the purses are not big enough in the WORCS series to justify paying somebody like Abbott, Garrison, Soule and roberts and supplying them with bikes and parts. I just don't see privateer teams biting the bullet and paying these guys, to get a 2000 dollar purse. PLUS these guys are going to require a lot of equipment. Just doesn't seem like it would be worth the hassle for a privateer team. JUST MY TWO CENTS. I think Husky has the right idea. Offer 2 million in contingency to anybody on a husky and then support a couple privateer teams. This adds incentive to buy a husky and keeps the payroll down. Its a sad day there are going to be a lot of good guys looking for work and not a lot of people out there that can afford them. [/QUOTE]
