The local racer at bloomington might not make the haul to gc but a number of teams would. Vice versa. I wish to add i think its great the promoters work with each other not scheduling against big events the other place has. It's a win-win for both places imo.
Saturday night there is a lot of tracks who run.... Burg, twin cities, that, danville, haubstadt, waynesfield. There may be more but the point is the saturday night car count is diluted with all these places running. Speaking of waynesfield.... I have never been there, but talked to teams who have and they like the place..... If they continue to pay 1000 to win, or on a night with another co-headliner 700 to win, this place will find itself with not enough cars to run.... Thus removing itself from the list.
To use duke's argument on too much racing, it looks to be survival of the fitest. Only the best/strongest supported tracks will be left.
I will also add to this one thing. How many california people have been on this board saying they wish they had it this bad? Tracks are far and few between with long commutes to them. In this area of the country we have it made!

in so. Ca. At perris there is 4 to 6 million people with in a hour drive of the track! Had about 700 to 800 people sat night for a cra race! What does that tell you? In phoenix manzy! Around 3 or 4 million with in a hours drive! Average less then a thousand a week! Now tell me how can you not sell the track!
