Whatever will fill the pits and the stands I guess.

I got to race the Belleville Nationals back in 2001 and it was an experience to remember. I spent the night in the hospital after being hit by another car after avoiding a wreck in front of me. I still have the helmet I was wearing sitting on a shelf with a huge dent where the other car's front bumper hit it. Looking back, I feel lucky to have survived and to have escaped with as few injuries as I did. The "big fast" nature of the track is what holds it appeal, but also keeps some away as the danger level is quite high. I hope that whatever class of cars runs there is a success for their fair. The people putting on this event are top notch in every respect and I wish them well in their future endeavors.
