Glad you chimed in. With the track sizes you listed Big Motors wont have much effect on the small ones, now on the large ones Speed requires Horsepower, Horsepower cost money, and Money prevents people from racing. I enjoy watching Bull-Ring racing!!! I really don't enjoy race cars going down a long old back stretch that seems to take for ever to reach the other end unless it is a Silver Crown Car on a big dirt mile. Then I enjoy watching the drivers keeping that big old car sideways all the way through them long old turns with one or two other racers besides them doing the same thing. That is called driving.
The biggest problem I see with the smaller tracks is they are so physical both on the car and driver. With the cars changing directions all the time and the driver trying to stay on top of them a young kid starting out can really hone their skills in the process of becoming "Journeymen Racers". Racers start out on the small tracks, move up to the half miles and then go to the big tracks. Most don't start their careers at DuQuoin on the mile in a Silver Crown Car. We saw the results of a novice on a 1/2 mile track last week in Florida.
You guys are doing a great job, and we hope to make a few of your races if our "BUILT" motor manages to stay together long enough to get there and old Mark doesn't DQ us at the pit gate.
Would the Chili Bowl draw as many cars if it were to be run on a 1/2 mile high bank track like Belleville Kansas?? Why do guys like Bryan Clausen and Sammy and Kevin Swindell always manage to win it??
