And if the program had been allowed to grow along the lines it was intended to (combo cars) i think that all of the other problems would have been resolved.

But i think you are missing the larger concept here. Technology is coming to sprint car racing - nobody is going to stop it. If we are smart, we'll do it in such a way that you will not be inconvenienced by it. You will be able to keep on doing just exactly what you are already doing and you will remain just as competitive as you are right now. It should be the new guys that conform to what you are already doing - that is how we can grow the sport and keep it healthy for the future.

Don't forget - you live in an area where the sport is already healthy - but take a step back and look at the whole country - there is a lot of room for growth and improvement. Better to take the bull by the horns than the tail, i say.
have a car that races pavement and dirt like it should be would increase the car count
