The question is do we want to see racing flourish again or tracks prosper? Back in the 50's pre Quarter Midgets I used to go to the Sportsdrome in Jeffersonville Indiana to watch dad race his cars. Best I can remember is they only raced one class Hard Tops that later morphed into Super-Modifieds. My memory is a little foggy but I can remember being just a little irritated when they brought in Stock Cars to race also. It made the night go on way long for a kid. I think they also had a week day race also for other classes but we never went to any of them.
Race tracks are too large of a piece of real estate to be left just setting around most of the time and earning little or no revenue for the operator. Race night are way too long nowadays many stretching way past Midnight in order to run all of the other various classes.
What if race tracks had a week day race for the support classes. They could run one Friday or Saturday night race with at the most 2 quality classes. Pick a mid week night for the support class races, and maybe filled in the rest of the week with Go Kart rental and races for the fans.
