I agree with you. However, trucks are too expensive to beat on in any race, even those with a purse. Think about it, the value of the purse compared to what you have in your truck to get it to where it is. It's financially a losing battle. But you race for your own enjoyment, or bragging rights, whatever you want to call it. And so every person chooses which races they wish to participate in. Nothing complicated about it, and it's not even gay.
