We don't need to add classes to already crowded regular shows and we certainly don't need to water down already lower car counts in other classes. JMO.
Thank you for your input.You may be right, and you may be the majority out there. I just dont know.THAT is why I am wanting to hear from everyone.I have taken several calls from people excited about the chance of being able to run a sprint car without having to mortgage their house.
To them, there is a need.
If it gets that far,maybe run a top wing, to make them different,and a novelty in this area.I am open to all ideas.
I am a sprint car owner/driver,been born into it,its been a part of my family since 1919. I have seen and experienced almost all my friends and fellow racers quit because of the absurd cost.The ones still in it are only doing so for the love of it, and are never in contention to win many races,and know it.
Maybe there are just so many sprint cars in this area, with huge unlimited budgets, that the majority doesnt care about the little guy any more.
This idea is just that, an idea.to see how many there might be, THEN searching for a fitting track or tracks.
I will agree, there are many classes now,and it is out of necessity for promoters to stay alive.If, after I do get many people interested, then I can approach a promoter with numbers.for possible dates.
The ill fated SCORA steel block series had no trouble fitting in nicely at several tracks,before it was nuked from within.Promoters want to hear numbers when you talk to them.20 cars or more that will run a much lower purse than 410 tends to get their attention.
I'm not about to put the cart before the horse here.The starting point is for people interested to call me.Without numbers, I am not doing anything.
I may not be able to do anything with numbers, but at least it gets me off the couch to try
