Points out that all your doing with Tire and Engine rules is killing your car count and the fans that go with it.

Imagine a series with no tire rules, no engine rule and no weight rule Love the idea of taking this series to asphalt too, may i suggest Winchester as a possible venue

BOSS needs to stick with what the paying fans and competitors support. A 20 race schedule with breaks for repair and refresh both mechanical and human. Dirt tracks only since USAC, AVSS, Must See, etc have proven pavement to be financially a drain on all involved. BOSS success is in the core of competitors who are sprint car weekend warriors who race for family, fun, fans, and a few bucks to get them to the next race. Don't grow it with Big Business but rather improve it at the grassroots level with an outlaw attitude.

The same exact concept has been used, when the racing was in reach of the average working man and the pits were full.
Just come race, no rules to speak of.
Back in the day when we did it we called it dirt track racing.
That's why we race speedway today, two rules.
a. 500cc engine max.
b. no nitro
pretty short rule book.
