Can't find an entry list anywhere. It must small. I heard 16 at Winchester Facebook.
This is exactly what I feared would happen small car count back in winter when this was first talked why there was going to at least 30 some teams putting cars together for this race I don't know what happened just wishful thinking I guess
Not sure why everyone is so focused on car count. The last race at Kalamazoo was spectacular. multiple battles for the lead, three wide in traffic, photo finish ! ! ! isn't THAT why we go to the races ? ? anyone that thinks 30 non-wing sprint cars are going to show up at Winchester Speedway and race is clearly not in tune
When USAc ran there they at the very least 22-24 cars why is they 40 some cars for little 500 only 16 at Winchester? $20 is a little salty for no more cars than that there's more asphalt cars out there for $8 grand to w IU n should at least been 28 cars
It's better than its been in years. Just happy someone is trying to get it going again. Maybe a couple of
years from now good pavement and not car counts will be all that matters
i clearly remember the USAC shows from the early 90's. Sunday afternoon, Sprints and Midgets. the racing was beyond Epic. i don't remember the car count. The racing was always the topic of conversation.
Considering you have two cars out with drivers laid up with recoveries from severe injuries, another car with engine issues,a team car to one of those cars with not enough help, and another team with trailer issues I think this is a good start. The question remains is how many fans sit at home and how many sit in the stands? It's a lot easier to sit around a b!tch about it than to support it. Last weekend at Kalamazoo there was some of the best open wheel racing ever there. It was so good that stockcar teams were breaking down what makes nonwing racing so good.
Just my two cents.
