Can anyone out there who follows this series give us an estimate of how many cars to expect?

The 1/4 track in Champaign,IL ran a weekly LM/Sprint program on Friday's. Haubstat ran their LM/Sprint show on Sunday's. Good times. I'd say from '76-'80.

30 to 40 is a fairly reasonable guess. I'd say it would be a little tough for them to get 45 and up because they don't run late models weekly like the other two tracks listed. Here is a list of who I think is running the series based on points.
Shannon Babb
Kevin Weaver
Dennis Erb
Randy Korte
Rodney Melvin
Jeep Van Wormer
Terry Casey
Jason Feger
Scott James

I got on the UMP site to see if I could find some info and I see that all the races pay either $6,000 or $10,000 to the winner. Haubstadt is paying $6,000 to win.
