What butlergrafix said is right on the money. But I also think that if they want the car counts to go up then they have be ump sanctioned. I know several guys who have left because Putnamville has their track smooth again and they can go up there and run for ump points. I also hated seeing Marty out there running off with every feature. Nothing against Marty, he's a heck of a talented driver. But I remember the days when there were 15 cars capable of winning on any given week. I think it's wrong to tell Marty he can't bring his car back half way through the season. God knows how much money he invested in that car only to get kicked out 3 weeks into the season. If they wanted a quick fix all they needed was a weight rule and a tire rule. Make the late models weight 200 lbs more than the stock clip guys and make all the cars run emods. That would even it out a little.

The payouts need to come up a little too. The cost of racing has went up a ton in the last 10 years. Even the admission has doubled. Yet they payout has stayed the same. Also, I think a season points fund would give people more motivation to run every race.
