+1. I hesitated to comment on your situation CDR. You give much of yourself and that's a rare quality.
I don't benefit financially from our race but our team does and I wouldn't do it otherwise. I think one of the best guarantees to keeping a race around is for it to be profitable. Not profitable because the racers are being gouged. But profitable because the race gives value to the participants and, in turn, profit to the promoter. The problem of succession is different for a profitable race. There will be no short supply of people willing to take over. But, in this case, the promoter gets to choose who is willing to continue their vision & goals for the race.
