I believe the biggest threat to the sport is the same as affects all of us, the cost of doing business. As we know tires are a big cost in the sport we love. I recommend everyone to check out a recent Winged Nation podcast with Steve Post. He has a Hoosier guy on and also sprint car owner operator Brent Marks on. Very insightful. Charles, when you realize, like I’m sure you do, costs have skyrocketed, for teams and fans, the biggest threat is, well I’m going to stop short of making a political reference.
No, lets not go political. Inflation is hitting everyone (They can decide why by themselves)
I will say there is more teams with the good stuff today than ever, But still the majority are not top motor, new tire teams. Probably a motor thats been rebuilt ten times and used tires most of the time.
