When I was younger it didn't mean a lot. Been to a track to watch midgets that had no front stretch wall or fence and people sat on a mound on blankets there. And still the bottom line is I go to see...
I have always said if there are less than 10 or 12 cars in a class just split the purse in half. Run 10 laps during heats for the 1st half of the purse. Then invert the field and run another 10 laps...
