I'd think it's tough to go in & stage 1 race/ yr on a horse track. 1/2 mi tracks run every week. How much more does it cost to buy, run & tour a SC car vs a 410 Sprint? There's an inventory of cars with the initial investment already made ...to run just 6 races/yr? Then a 2nd inventory of pavement cars for just 4 races. How long can the series survive with that kind of utilization?
THE CHAMP CAR RACES AT THE GROVE IN THE 50S WHERE 50 LAP MAINS WITH A BIG PURSE NON-POINTS RACES!
