I'm sure the new track configuration has impacted car counts, especially for the modifieds, but I believe that impact has been relatively minor. My guess; < 5 sprint cars per week.
IMO, the only way to significantly increase 'Burg pit population, in these days of sky high petrol prices, and stronger competition for cars from other Saturday night tracks (see Putnamville, post Allison) might be to move the the Lawrenceburg Speedway to Shelbyville or some other spot within 15 miles of I-465.
Otherwise many Gas City and Kokomo regulars are going to opt for Waynesfield on Sat. nite while Indy and west central IN racers will understandably continue to go for the much shorter tow to LPS. It remains to be seen what will take place at Paragon.
JMHO....they don't shoot you for that here now.....or do they?
