Since I like to sound like a broken bell:

a couple of years ago I mentioned to a NMBRA meeting that the money that we use to buy the series jersey could be used to help promoter with the cost of putting up a race. My idea was a sort of loan just to make the promoters feel comfortable while putting up a race, not to put their own money at risk.

My idea was trashed because, apparently, people really like those jerseys...like Shane, this is just my POV, but there must be a correlation with the fact that we have fewer and fewer races...
