That makes it very profitably for the promotor to run these class. Plus majority of those teams and fans live within 30 miles of the track and support every show. Now I am not advocating 5 classes a night but nothing wrong with a fender class.
I hope it is true as would love to see Gas City back in the fold of routine racing whether it is weekly or bi-weekly.

Couldn't agree more and actually every time I have been there the fender cars were pretty entertaining.
