we were at pms last week for the ulms race and they had like 1 car that follows the tour. is that the normal car count for the top 10 in points at touring races ? not trying to start anything just curious. seems like a waste of a series if nobody follows it. we seen them last year and it was about the same.

The series has always been sort of a joke with not many cars following it. Usually the champion does not even run every race. Pretty bad when the point leader doesn't show up mid-season. ULMS can't even attract a full field of cars at the majority of their races. Don't know why tracks bother dealing with them. All they do is cause the drivers to have to pay an entry fee for nothing.

I will give ULMS one more shot at Sharon, I know the weather was very iffy last time they had a show scheduled there. The funny thing is UEMS guys braved the same weather and put on a good show....
