16 cars means 2 heats and a feature. On the other hand 32 cars means 4 heats a b main and a feature, almost twice the racing for the same ticket price. From a sprint car only fan's perspective 16 cars is sad and not worth a long drive and the cost of a ticket,it makes no difference why only 16 showed up. I'm curious why BOSS was able to draw twice as many cars than Bloomington at a track that isn't close to a metro area and only pays $1500 to win.
