You call 183 cars a light car count? Are you crazy?

do the math...there was 7 classes running so yeah at an average of 26 cars when i remember the shows that the stocks were pulling 50-60 alone i would say it was on the light side for normal counts...stocks used to run 10 heats alone, tonight they had 3 and a b...that's light to me compared to normal...that's all i was saying

edit*...last year on friday night you had 46 stocks which means a drop of 20 cars...so again that would make it a lighter count then normal.......just added it up again...in 6 classes last year (one less then tonight) you had a 179 total...

No matter what you say everybody goes against you. Do you see the pattern? Did you consider weather, drivers no longer racing in classes they ran last year, average car counts being down everywhere this year. No you just think 183 cars is a low car count. You just sit at home. The fans here enjoyed a good show with more cars than any track has collected at one race this year.

It was a pretty good show tonite. My biggest complaint is the amount of pace and caution laps. If they would cut them down it would speed up the show a lot

There were up around 36 stocks. 12 car heats. Not bad for threatening weather and only $500 to win on a fri night. With good weather tomm I could see about 45, but it's not looking good.

I'm going to say the weather kept alot of New York cars home PLUS the payout has not increased .i thougt the car count was a bit on the lite side myself. Also the comment about pass Laos and such under yellow it was the same last year. Oh well they are odiously not raceing today

when you drop the pay out from 1000 to 500 on Friday night, and reduce Saturdays pay also. you cant expect teams to recognize this as a premier event anymore. it always used to be 1000 Friday and 2000 Saturday ( would draw 80 cars)
