A lot of good answers, as someone that has been going to the races for over 50 years. Here is my simple answer to many Damn classes. Growing up in the Springfield area they had three classes at Joe's. Sprints, Latemodels, and sportsman or street stocks depending on who was talking. Jacksonville had Late models and street stocks and then added sprints. Now where ever you go to the races there are five or six classes. if I cant win in a 410 lets start a 360 class if I cant win there lets start a 305 class in I cant win there lets start a 602 class. Now we have a midget class that has so many different types of cars running it you cant keep track. Instead of 30 to 40 a class or more now you have 10 to 12. A year ago or so I was at Leaders Edge picking up a rear end and the conversion came to this, why is everyone grey headed at the race track. LoL except the drivers. Well I hope somebody has the answer. If there is a answer it should come up on here. LoL JMO
