I've never really got the whole "BUDGET CLASS" concept.
Modifieds were a budget class, Now you got three different classes of mods
ASCS, NRA etc were all 360 budget class. Now a motor will cost as much as 410s.


You can have a Econo class alone by having a low purse. 4-600 to win and your not going to have USAC guys or even most track champions showing up knowing they coudn't even break even by winning.

Leave the budget up to the racer. If they buy a sprint an can only put a 5g motor in it and run a RR that would last ten races. Thats where they'll run Against others in the same boat. If so happens they stumble into some sponsorships or $$$ They can buy the 15-50g motor and go race with USAC if they want.

Pretty much every racer I know that doesn't have a lot of sponsorship or $$ behind them, Runs what they can afford and where and how often that they can afford to do it.

Not saying something that could draw and create new racers is bad if in fact what this does is that.
But making another class isn't any kind of a solution IMHO. Run NW Racesaver.. That way you can draw in and have a big race or two, while the majority of the season is your regulars and beginners.
