And you came here looking for knowledgeable folks? Just kidding. Car count to me is mostly hit and miss. I don't need quantity to make it a good show, I just want to see quality. I have seen 45-50 car shows that weren't that great while attending a 15 car show that was outstanding. With USAC being involved, 32 is the number most folks look at. That is the number they normally lock into 4 heat races. If you get a lot more than that, you have qualifiers which many times don't produce good racing and just puts more wear and tear on the track surface. Anything less can still produce great racing depending upon who shows up. I'm sure that helps you out a lot. Clear as mud right?

Well there is always at least one knowledgeable person to the 100 of us that arent, right?

Either way I plan to make it if that r word stays away.

I stand corrected. Didn't I tell you BigWheel7 about looking for knowledgeable people on IOW. Now you know where I rank in the 100.
