I have been going to ORP (IRP) since I was a wee lad (some 30 years now). Back in the days when ASA was the major stock series and ARCA was a bunch of junkers.

The SCs had a lot of cache when the came on the scene but now they seem like an anachronism. Guys have been swapping around the same 30 cars for a decade. I would bet that the field last night was the majority of SC cars that exist in the world. Many of them broke down in 5-20 laps. With the midgets running a few tenths faster at ORP and the sprints faster at Richmond I just don't see the point of this series any more. The effort some years ago to redesign them to run on bigger tracks was an utter failure. Not sure what the solution is but they can't keep trotting out the same vintage cars year after year to follow each other around on the pavement tracks.

ORP is a great track for the midgets (better than the sprints IMO). Not sure why ... they can run multiple lines I suppose though they do top out on HP at the end of the straights.
