      I think Bronson would be better off running some of the Ultimate races, SAS, SNS and SNBS events first before jumping on a national tour and running full time.

        What makes you say Ferguson as "likely"? He have that kind of backing?

          He's been running sanctioned races all over the country this season. If he's going to do that, he might as well jump on a tour and get show up money for em'.

            I agree. He followed the WoO for their midwest swing earlier in the year if I recall

                Only in racing does a person knowingly put on a dud show, and then blames everyone else for not appreciating their dud show.

                    Running a national tour makes less sense more and more. Unless you can be a contender for the championship and get a big check at the end of the year running a outlaw sechulde is more profitable.by not Running a series if you have a little bad luck you can take a few weeks off to regroup. Running a national tour you got to be there every week if your ready or not. Overton and malar have proven this year that a regional sechulde and hitting the majors is the way to go.

                      I look for him to do more mod racing next year.

                        People like to gauge how good a driver is based on running a national tour as if the best of the best all run national tours when that is entirely not the case at all...

                          ^^^^^^^ agree completely ^^^^^^^ I was just talking with some fellow racers last weekend and pretty much everyone was saying that if you compare operating cost to money won, Marlar and Overton have to be in the top 5 if not top 2. I think both are likely near or over $300K with probably less than 1/3rd of the operating/travel expense of the guys on the national tour. If more racers realize this, it is going to be bad news for these national series.

                            I hope Fergy jumps onto the National tour, but I don't know if he has that kind of money.

                              I doubt overton or Marlar is at $200,000.
