A product was created definitely sold and marketed to racers. Fastrack has said on here not only the racers but tracks are their customers. I see racers wanting to both move up or move down to something they feel gives them a more affordable chance for success, I get that
What I don't get is how tracks defined also as customers are willing to pay or negotiate anything out of their pockets effectively providing a free venue for someone else's customers. At a minimum tracks should charge the sellers of the new type of racing product $2000 a race night for the use of their track. An alternative would be to charge the racers who bought into the fixed entry level program $50 to $100 per car over current back gate fees depending on nightly count for the exclusive right they demand to use their track.
I was at Tricity last year and had to endure the huge pase in the program while the announcer touted the wares and excitement gifting peanut prizes to their customers. We fans got it thrown at us with fanfare rivaling WoO, Lucas, Allstar exuberance. Well I'll tell you all this now, sometimes if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck it's not a duck.
The greatest thing I saw at Tricity that day was the great run the obviously well setup lesser car of Butch Beasley who started his current carrier weekly at Tricity had in his heat race. My hats off to you Butch your car looked great and is my most notable remembrance of the 2017 racing season. Good Job Butch!
