My thoughts on the sprint car count is as follows -

1) Cold crappy weather with not the best forcast. Can't say anyone has fun spending two days sitting in that weather.
2) Face it, many guys are done racing. They have spent their wad for the season and already got the cars apart getting ready for swap meets.
3) Top teams, getting ready to head out west for two weeks of racing.
4) Two days of pit pass (dollar wise) for one pay out. Plus have to buy a hotel room, food, etc on top of that. Yes, paid 5k to win but only one driver walks out with that. $300 to start is nice but after the costs listed that $300 does not go far.
5) The weather forced teams to either sit two days at L-burg or one day at Kokomo. Seems to me most picked Kokomo.

I guess my question is, I thought the DTWC was promoted by another guy and not Dave. Why is Dave taking the beating? I guess like everything, live and learn. If the sprint cars are not on the DTWC weekend next year I guess we will know why and there shouldn't be any complaining from the teams that did not support it this year.

I made my first visit to the new L-burg this year and plan to be back next year. Dave - How about calling ASCS and booking an ASCS National Tour race in 2010. That would rock!
