just to compare apples to apples, the first night of mod mania had around 118 cars... 75 mods and 43 late models had to qualify, run heats.. dashes.. multiple c-mains.. multiple b-mains.. and a-mains. the payout was pretty much the same, gold crown used a pill draw for around 29 midgets. I would assume the heats would start a little later at mod mania. great racing at both events, but in my opinion, I would love to see usac run a 3 day show with midgets and non wing sprints... now that would be a gold crown nationals. tri-city would be the perfect track.
