Once you make headlines for all the wrong reasons the politicians smell blood, power and a place to “regulate”. It’s just the natural course of things in a political world.

The extra cost and the fact that everyone involved with racing MUST register is going to force some people out. And in some cases that may be a good thing. Because , face it, dishonest people loath scrutiny. The protractors, complainers and cry babies will never face the fact that in a way they have been enablers which got racing to this point. The “let the state commissions continue to control” crowd. Nothing ever changed enough. People get caught red handed and the response is “nothing to see here” or “the land of 10,000 excuses and sugar coating” in some cases downright “ cover ups and indignation “. These people don’t understand the limitations and time line that eventually that crap gets old , wears thin and this is the end result no matter how much you bitch other wise. IN OTHER WORDS , the clock ran out, and time was up. The freaking states had years and years to avoid this and did nothing or not enough. Whats hidden in the dark eventually comes to light. It’s hilarious that somehow people didn’t see this coming for years. I knew it was . Sometimes you gotta pull your head out of sand or your ass and realize what’s happening.
