There are some guys running on better budgets than others, but they seem to be ok with spending enough to run well because they can. HOSS has seen guys come and go too. And we miss them because we do our little races together and enjoy helping and competing together.

Thats the ticket right there! Show me someone else paying $600 to start the feature each and every night. I think HOSS and MSR have the same bottom line budget. Not sure on AVSS. The 1 thing fans constantly forget, the slow guys are the ones that make up your car count. (think back in the day when Some sprint week races would have 70+ cars. how many of those cars never had a chance to make the field? 20 or so. add 20 cars to this years fields, what are there car counts now? 50-60+) Also I love your Nascar referance. That was great, its true!
The 1 thing people on this board constantly forget about is the big sanctioning fee's. I garuntee you if tracks thought they could turn a profiet off of a usac sprint car pavement race, there would be races at every single paved track in Indiana. Right now the wing guys are much cheaper to bring in. Smaller purse, smaller sanctioning fee's, more cars, and a decent fan base. Hopefully usac is able to turn something around, but on pavement wings are the best bang for the buck.
