Right or wrong ideas and suggestions are better than bashing.
The only thing that will help car count is to substantially lower costs When it cost $2500 bucks a night to run a competitive regional pavement midget or 3-4 K for a national show and not much less for dirt the amount of people who can afford to do that for fun is very limited. That is why you have the car count at Salem like this past week. The threat of killing a car at Salem is too great and a competitive pavement roller is $25K new.
People who don't believe that are living in the past when home built cars could be welded up and run week in and week out and motors run an entire season, not possible now, although at least you are assured to make the main with these car counts.
Think of it this way for the same amount as the net costs after winnings for running the entire national sprint or midget series an owner could just buy a couple of dozen new Ford F150 s and leave them at the race track and have a lot less hassle. These teams are mostly run out of the pockets of businessmen who love racing and are in it for the love of the game. In times like these love takes a backseat to cash.
