The biggest problem is tracks with way too many classes to begin with. I honestly think it should be 5 max on the number of classes run each night on a weekly show. When you have so many classes it dilutes the number of cars in the other divisions.

Example. You as a promoter have 5 divisions and now you decide to add 2 + more. Now you dilute the car count in the other divisions because some of those drivers and teams would move to those new divisions and now you have less cars in the divisions, they were already running in. With those added divisions, now you are putting more laps on the track and ruining the track prep that had been done. I think some promoters need to wake up and use their heads.

One or two premier divisions, one or to mid-tier divisions, and or one or two lower tier divisions. Most every track across the U.S. has a different name for their weekly divisions.

Tier 1 - Super Late Models, UMP / USRA / IMCA Modifieds (A-Mods), Big Block Modifieds, 358 Modifieds, 410 Wing Sprints, 410 Non-Wing Sprints, 360 Winged Sprints, 604 Crate Late Models, 360 Non-Wing, 305 Wing Sprints, & Limited Late Models

As someone who truly enjoys racing. I have said for a while I'd like to be a promoter. I've told a number of my close friends for years If I had the money, I'd like to get my hands on Shadyhill Speedway. The track sits in the middle of know where and likely wouldn't close for a very long time. The few things that could use fixing and updating there besides the obvious track surface are the bathrooms and expand the pit area. The track has an overflow pit behind the main pit area that hasn't been use since the 1980's and is overgrown with trees and bushes. The track property has more land than it looks. Then put a fresh coat of paint on all of the buildings.
