Not Telling
Help me out PS drivers. Why can't we get a good field of cars at DHS? Is it the tire costs cuz there was not a good surface each week or something else? We are gettin a new surface for 2013 to curb those costs. I can recall in 08 the lowest car count we had was 35 cars. In 2011 there were nights we didnt have 8 cars. The payoff is not bad compared to other local tracks. i am sure not the promotor but i would like to know the reason we dont get more cars in PS as would the promotor. I fear our beloved sport is going to go by the wayside without some input from the competeitors and the fans. We as competetiors need to be concerned the tracks are making some money or we wont have places to race and our equipment and cars will be big White Elephants.
I really like Dog Hollow and I think Jim is trying to make changes for the better. In my opinion it comes down to one thing. Rules. You have to make reasonable rules and more importantly you have to enforce them. You cant pick and choose what rules to enforce. Over the last several years the rules have become looser. Allowing high performance heads bowtie intakes, 9in fords, aluminum bodies, bigger cams. This did not make racing more fun or exciting. It did make it significantly more expensive. There is always a handful of guys who have the money or already have the parts on their car that lobby to open the rules. They seem to be the ones who get heard. The fact is that when it takes almost as much money as guys have into a crate late model to be competitive and cheaters can still go screaming past you it just doesn't attract new cars. I really hope this trend changes for the good a division on its last leg.
