I have said it a million times you're racing will cost exactly what your budget will allow you to spend
Convincing people to buy a race car that they will be stuck with when the class does not make it doesn't make a lot of sense
New Egypt has been trying to get this class off the ground for a few years and the only way that they have been even remotely successful is by essentially giving cars away
What we have embraced in the ardc is creating an atmosphere that people want to participate in and will be justly rewarded for their participation
If you take a look at just about any spec class division it never grows and it mires in mediocrity
This of course is my opinion for what that is worth :-)
The northeast needs a lot less classes that much I'll give you.
It would be nice to do away with the crap and only have a few classes, too bad in your opinion theres no room for the best class of all, nonwinged sprints.
I mean midgets are cool, but they aint no sprintcar, so as far as the fans go were still lacking.
Back before there were so many classes the racing wasn't as complicated or spread thin. There were a ton of cars with no rules, now theres a ton of rules with hardly no cars. Go figure.
If you really get into todays rule books pretty much all racing is a spec class anymore, theres not a whole lot of choices and ingenuity is pretty much a thing of the past. Pretty boring.
