About the cash, there was an interview with Schwantz and what he had planned to do with the cash he'd have made. His plan was to use it to build a team using the profits to feed american kids into the series (if I remember right). Moto2 and eventually motogp. $450K a year isn't going to do that. plus COTA deserves to get ass f@cked for the shit they pulled.
Then I would have 5 Million, a steady income, no bills and an extra $450,000 a year to put away for when I didnt have a steady income any more.
This ! "About the cash, there was an interview with Schwantz and what he had planned to do with the cash he'd have made.

"Even if I didnt need 4.5 million I wouldnt pass it up on a potentially risky lawsuit." I think if you have Kevins mindset and feel for justice, you just might. This is all about justice and righteousness not really about the money so much, but money is really the only way to prove the point, at this point. I do believe, just speculation, Kevin does need the money more than one believes in order to do what he wants to do, his riding school drastically cut down its schedule due to funds amongst other reasons and yes funding a program to get more american "kids" into racing and grooming them for motogp etc isn't going to be cheap. I support Kevin but not knowing all facts, it is hard to sit here and speculate but he was involved with all aspects of planning then a couple parties acknowledged his promotional deal at the time then he was screwed out of it. The how and why is unknown, but then to Ban him from COTA on the inagural GP that he had a large hand in setting up... BAD FORM and that really was a slap in the face, good for him and if he gets only 1,000,000 and the judgement he still wins the judgement. I think that is more important than getting 4.5m and having to claim he didn't win. Sure money makes the world go round but proving you are a man of your word and being vindicated is priceless! I would pass on the 4.5m if it meant not being acknowledged for my efforts too and I don't have shit, so 450k a year would have added about 12 times my income for 10 years, that would have been a life changing amount of money for 10 years. Getting the judgement would be with forever!
Bla bla bla. I like Kevin for sure. One of the greats. Hope this doesn't fuck with MotoGP or F1 coming to Texas.
