Racing in general is expensive. I spoke to few sprint car, late model, mods and street stock guys. As far as late models and sprints for best money can buy late models are pushing close to 900 hp and sprint 800-850 with total cost of everything brand new 80,000 plus. Mods looking at 40-60,000 and street stock guys running for 200-300 to win have 20 grand in a car. Rules are out of control if you ask them and cost is through the roof. Some say ump killed most of the classes.
Far as Kokomo goes it fast 3-4 wide racing racing and ask any winner that has won there they don't come easy. Heard one driver say Kokomo is best track that they run on and you better come with your A game or your gonna get beat. It's always elbows up for every class.
I didn't go to Lps sat but I've been there this year. My only thing is I don't like taking forever to remove cars. Get wreckers there get it hooked let's go. One thing I try do is get the messes done quick as for a fan they hate watching parade laps. I know thing happen where it takes longer but gotta either get more help or light fire under the people that work at any track.
Jmo I wouldn't have qualified mods 2 laps. One only. I would've just did draw if was me. I personally don't like single car qualifying. They had a good count of cars but can't run til 5 am next day. Drivers fans remember that for the next year. As season ends for some continue for others be safe and have fun
