I don't consider this question picking a fight. It's a worthwhile discussion.

I will question your assessment of low car counts. Badger adopted a 2.4L production engine platform several years ago and has seen steady increases in car counts. Got rained out last Sunday at LaSalle, but there was speculation that we could have seen 30 cars or more. Part of that is the location being within striking distance of the IMRA guys in central Illinois & Iowa and the Badger guys in Wisconsin, northern Illinois (and Indiana), but it would have been a reasonable assumption. When we weren't competing for dates last year, we had upper 20s showing up at Sycamore and putting on a very exciting, competitive show. We've got several new cars being built for the year, so even on a competing weekend, we expect 26-28.
