We may see entries down nationwide. Since the Futurities are the second biggest money maker for the club, we need to keep on providing a chance for those who want to enter, the ability to do so. I suggested a few years ago that we try eliminating the registration, and let everyone enter the futurities if they wanted. Two entries would make up for the money from registration, and it might make for a larger overall entry. It is just a thought, but I would like to see what would happen.
