There are those that will settle for a watered down product, good for you. I am glad we did not go tonight, I had a 1st timer going, do not think he would have been impressed with 16 minutes of racing?

I once did a 7 car show, not claiming or blaming. My point was more about the use of technology, and had I not read twitter I would have went.....Along that same note, the SC race is going to have 43 cars, a semi, 100 lap feature, and my money!

For the sport to grow it needs a better product then the one tonight, there are those that will be satisfied, and those that are not. And for all the not's their cash is still in their pocket, and, cash talks loud!!
Im not putting this as a negative nanny But I somewhat agree with this. While I go to the local shows to see the whole program. A four hour drive needs equal too or more than most local shows put on.. I also don't get it, Guys will load up and run with a good shot at not making a feature and a hundred dollar tow, But not for five hundred start money?

While you can still go see decent car count shows, I put it not far off the LM scene where today formerly premier LM tracks that almost always carried more than 30 cars, can barely muster two heats.

I realize you don't beat USAC often, But to become the best, you gotta race against the best at times.
