Right now adjustable shocks are becoming the most exspensive must have items on the cars and having someone who knows how to set them up. A lot of the top teams have shock dynos in their trailers now.

The only way to control costs is NOT to pay "BIG MONEY" pay good show up money and they will come. Pay good through out the field and they will race. Bloomington is a perfect example of that. If Bloomington paid everybody $100 to show they would probably get 60 cars every night like Paragon.

The "Burg" is too fast and dangerous now for your regular weekend warriors. As a matter of fact the weekend warriors are starting to die out.
Really, the adjustable shocks aren't expensive when you think about it. About $450 for on adjustable shock for each corner right? Then you get one spare. To equal that with non-adjustable shocks you have to have 4-5 different shocks for each corner, instead of just one that can be adjusted. Now, I don't have a problem with banning cockpit adjustable shocks though.
