I think if they want to get everyone behind a big event like this they need to do a similar pay structure to Knoxville's Corn Belt nationals.
Knoxville - $600 just to start the B-main
Kokomo - $150 for all non transfers

If the smackdown made it worth the local guys to show up, I would 100% support all tracks not scheduling against it. Until then I understand why they still do. Just my 2 cents but I think they are happy with current car counts and feel no need to make this change but think this could be an even larger event if they wanted it to.

Good post. I think it wouldn't take a bunch more cars or fans to make that happen. I also think the more car and fan participation you get, the more sponsorhip deals can come in.
