    I'd still keep it fairly simple, but major for someone like me...

    1) Build a dedicated shop
    2) Get the fancy hauler that looks like most everyone else's
    3) Hire two full time crew members
    4) Two new cars
    5) Probably four engines
    6) Choose a tour that would expose me to the greatest number of tracks I have never raced at
    7) Have a heck of a good time in the process!

    Put Bloomer and Barry back together again! Give them equal shares of the new company so theyll give 110% to the new effort!

    Hire Overton as full time driver and Bloomer as rnd driver and race as much as he wanted!

    fwiw.....Bloomers car would have to be the black and white with the 18 in chrome!

    After the chili bowl I would have a much larger track built inside the tulsa expo center and run some full sized cars. Late models, winged and non-winged sprints, mods, street stocks. The track could be twice the size of the one they currently have if the haulers were to park outside. I would also try covering slinger speedway with dirt once, the shape and banking of the place would produce some serious side by side action I believe.
