I would say it's more that they don't want to buy tires they will only use at one track that keeps some of regional guys away. Open up the tire rule your u probably draw 6-10 more cars.

Buttbeak, I do work. 7 days a week. 3 jobs plus any extra work I can find. I have my priorities in order. And steaks are a rare treat . Hospitals hate seeing me come. They dope me up, re hydrate me and out the door in 4 hours. I don't know any thing about universal care, bu twill look into it. Thanks for the tip.

Old man D, I ask for some form of help every time I am in the E.R. They wont touch me unless I have medical insurance. I've tried. Thanks for you're concern.

Universal health care is "Obama care", based on your income. Medicaid is based on your income also.

Thanks for the catch!  Proofreading at 2:00AM coming off 33 hours in 3 days is quite the challenge :-)

 

You omitted Boom Briggs from the final rundown of the firecracker

Just checked out the Late Model car counts for last weekend.  Sure there were "only" 50 cars at Lernerville for the Firecracker, but Dog Hollow, with 21, was the only other Late Model track to draw more than 14 cars!!!   Two tracks only had 10. Pittsburgh, Bedford and Hesston all had the week off, so that should have made for more cars elsewhere.....It didn't!!!   Who knows at Roaring Knob as they don't send out results and the website hasn't been updated in a couple of weeks!! Looking at the Lernerville list, there are only 4 drivers who probably would have run a Late Model elsewhere locally if they weren't at Lernerville

 

Crates aren't the answer either as only Dog Hollow, with 17, had more than 15!!       Car counts are not good all over the map and we are no wheres near the Dog Days of Summer, when the counts usually fall off!!

I think it's all about the costs of today's racing Walt. Sponsorship is getting more difficult. To many tracks. To many divisions of basically the same type of car. I have been to the dirt races down here in SC on 3 different occasions, the racing is not entertaining at all. Bad car counts, 1 lane tracks because they water so heavy a second groove never develops. A driver got his nose under a guy, he got off the line and destroyed the car into the guard rail. I went over to the pit and the guy said he was done racing, he said it wasn't fun anymore. They run crate motors and in talking to him he mentioned many more are like him. The consensus down here seems to be a lot of guys want a hard tire rule. As the guy mentioned, you put a hard tire on, it doesn't matter how much HP you have.  A shame but I have said it before, some sanctioning folks are taking the fun out of it. Before guys had pride in what they created. I think it is something that drives the sportsman division and the penn/ohio series.
