A look at the history of short track, open-wheel racing would tell us that one of the main factors contributing to its often near demise and cyclical popularity has been the over-proliferation of various clubs, tracks, and sanctioning bodies vying for the same audience and participant pool. There should always be those series which are feeders and development places of new talent, but there also has to be an elite strata to attract the new or casual fan for the sport to prosper. In short what we have IMHO is more than enough series, but what I feel is needed is a few big money, high prestige events for non-wing racing to return to its proper place as the most competitive form of sprint car racing. Not more series to further divide the fan, driver, and car pool.
